    Got it out and no damage done. But I can't pull any more loads until I have an "incident interview" really looking forward to that. But at least I'm safe. It was looking like night of the living dead by the time the tow truck got there. They were licking my windshield and stuff ..

    Nope. They sent me down to Houston to help out before the new years holiday which is why I had no clue where I was in the first place. I gotta bobtail back home for butt chewing. Looks like I get a long weekend.

    Yeah, a stomach churning long weekend at that. They'll go easy on you. They just have to go through protocol.

    I still have a nearly full bottle of Jack at home. I shall survive.
    Of course I've forfeited all bragging rights over Swift for the next 6 months.

    When I was at May Trucking I had an incident in a parking lot in Atlanta right after a major ice storm. I couldn't get traction (bobtailing) on this one area of the parking lot that had a steeper incline. When I lost traction I rolled backwards into a concrete barrier that ripped off the step of the passenger side. I was sick to my stomach over that LOL. They did the same thing to me. Routed me into a terminal on my way back to the west coast. Made me watch a safety video and had me write an essay on what I could of done to avoid that happening in the first place. I felt like a little kid being scolded by a teacher in the 1st grade! ;-)

    Don’t spend too much time beating yourself up over it. Most of us have needed a wrecker at some point in our career.

    Thank you @Scooter Jones and @Banker you both are making me feel so much better. I put on a brave face but I've been pretty shook up. It was a rookie mistake for sure.

    Scooter, do you think they will make me write, "I will not drive into the ditch" 100 times on the blackboard?
