    I leave J B and my replacement does whuuuut?.......well, the truck is upright, the tires are still there, the people are all still ( mostly alive) and the only thing is a damaged ego and some extraneous time spent in "rehab".....count it as good....

    True that. I spoke to a weekend fleet manager when I came in today and he said they will probably slap my wrists and make me watch some videos. No. They will not dock my pay. ( docking my pay would have been unacceptable but I wanted to be braced for what level defcon I should be in)

    You'll be fine.....but....here's the tough love part of the program, it never should have happened. Slow down and think about it before you roll.
    It happens to all of us every week....."now, how in the heck am I gonna get out of here?"
    I had to call the police 2 weeks ago to get me backed over a 2 lane 45 mph street. But I did it and I and the truck are fine.
    As a side note, the cop lady was a smokin hot blonde, no lie. I was like, 'yea me!!'

    I thought you were joking using some stock photo...

    Sorry it happened. But you walked away, the truck drove away and the sting of it all will eventually dwindle away...

    I know, I know. I suck at inspirational quotes.

    @UturnGirl

    You’re the best. Your desire to share the good and the bad, your wins and losses is commendable. I truly enjoy your posts. I have no idea how many experienced drivers on here would never show that bit of humanity. I love that it makes me reevaluate my skill and openness.

    You. Are. Awesome.
