    I'm sure the instructor stopped it. Tires? That whole truck is ready to be a school truck...especially for PTI practice.

    Only thing he said was 'oh, okay' when the instructor stuck his head in the door at the fuel desk and told him that he had stopped his truck from rolling away. Never said another word.

    haha

    I guess I'm probably good at that!

    You guys did well. I'm constantly checking to make sure I have pulled on the brakes. What you saw is something I never want to experience.

    Also, that guy shoulda lined every one of you up and kissed your arse!

    But, sadly, such is the way of the world...no gratitude.

    Now, see? The instructor may have cost the class a very important object lesson, not to mention a lesson in physics, by stopping that rig.

    All I know is that had I been that driver, I'd be buying lunch for a bunch of students and instructors! Gratitude indeed!

    I secretly wanted him to let it roll so we could watch what it did to that loaded car hauler.
