    This happened before I got there. I stopped to grab a shower and kill alittle time before my next load. Got out of the shower, and they now have a crane setting up. Hopefully, I'll be able to watch the show before I have to leave!

    At least he didn't block the fuel island and prevent drivers from getting a 30 minute break in there.

    Yeah. I high-centered my landing gear trying to back into a spot at the Flying J in Mesquite Nevada about a year ago and did manage to block 2 fuel islands till a tow truck came and fixed me. The ramp for the Cat scale was much steeper than I thought. I was embarrassed!!!

    Well, I had to cut crossways from the CAT scale and a couple of fuel islands to set up to park in the spot. So, I wasn't exactly dwaddling about! I was pretty impressed how stuck I got!
    Also, for the current Oops of this post, crane lifted trailer with a strap, guy drove under it and hooked up. I guess that meant the king pin and trailer plate were still OK. And, then drove away a few minutes ago.

    That thing fell with some speed to collapse the landing gear all the way to the ground.
