    Right, he sure could've busted a block. Sometimes drivers get lost and panic as opposed to just chilling out and redirecting himself.

    What I learned early was, "if you don't know what to do, don't do nothing. "
    Put on your 4 ways, gather your thoughts, and move on when you can.
    You'll be alright and you'll not do stupid stuff.

    "Use All Available Room", EXCEPT WHEN A DITCH IS IN THE WAY!!

    I've been on some 2 lane roads, located address yet failed to properly utilize, in Ohio (for one state), that I had to follow for some MILES before adequate ROOM was availed.
    Pennsylvania was wonderful too.

    "driver" needs be added to the constantly growing list of FAILED MANUEVERS in Class 8 Vehicles.

    Love the Twin Double Yellow Lines!!

    And 30 minutes down the road WILL be less time than it takes to drag you out of a ditch.
    That's why I say, just stop, put on your 4 ways, and regroup.
    You'd be surprised at the people that will leave you alone.
    Pretty much everybody.
    Regroup, roll on.
    No big deal.
    Live to fight another day.

    At about 3:45, the tow truck driver asks the trucker "Did you leave the pin locked in?"

    Is the tow truck driver asking if the truck pulled the fifth wheel release handle? If not, what does the tow truck driver mean when he asked the trucker if he left the pin locked in?
