    I had the exact same thought. I feel like if nobody saw it, it didn't happen, maybe the drop yard had a camera

    #### this guy. My first year I had 4 incidents from hitting objects. Got fired. Here I am 5 years later no tickets no accidents at an LTL. Learn from your mistakes and keep rolling.

    Some people learn, some are incapable of learning so it is good advice if you can't learn from your "mistakes".

    Oh and about mistakes, they cost money, so maybe a good way for people to learn is to pay for their mistakes like if they own the truck.

    Zen worked for me. I became one with the truck. Try it! And, no, you don't have to dress up in one of those flimsy toga gowns and wear sandals.
