    Yeah, if you leave it in neutral it sure does. Don't know about an actual gear. I always used the parking brake. All of the newish models have an electronic lockout brake. Like I said...makes me wonder. Because even if it wasn't tied down and just had the brake on, you aren't on the brakes hard enough for it to do that......no way. I wonder if he had it blocked up or something. I used to block up big scrapers because I didn't have enough room on the deck and didn't want to put the extension in. I've seen guys put equipment on the neck because they didn't have enough room on the deck.

    I just got back from Pizza Hut and man I never had anyone try to talk me out of a job before; he told me they make $8 an hour plus tips and if they tip you by credit card you have to report it at the end of the day for taxes, but then he said the other workers don’t report the cash tips and then proceeded to ask this guy I knew from school how much he made yesterday and he paused for a second, “Uhhh, $20” rofl Lastly, he was on the phone with his regional manager and I only heard the part where she said it wasn’t worth it being a delivery driver because of tires, oil changes, etc and he sits at the table again and proceeds to ask me for the second time if I was still interested in the job

    Pizza Hut is disgusting anyways. You don't need to be associated with that slimy crap.

    Trust me I’m not pursuing a career as a pizza delivery driver, I haven’t killed anyone or done drugs :biggrin_25523: Figured instead of sitting on my arse while I wait to hear back from jobs I want I’d do something

    I give the guy credit. Atleast he was upfront and honest with you. Most would just blow smoke up your arse telling you whatever you wanted to hear to get you in. He was prolly tired of seeing the turnover because of such tactics.

    If I recall, that driver had to stop hard at the bottom of a pretty good hill in town and also didn't have enough securement on. He was a city water department employee.
