    Really need to learn to take a joke old timer. You title it "Newbies don't be this". What do you expect?

    But at least, it was finished before someone got hurt. That is the important part.

    Back atcha sweetness.:biggrin_2559:

    I suppose it WAS too much to expect "short-timers" to get the drift. :biggrin_25525:

    Point was for "first solo" to not stress yourself into a meltdown. Take your time getting ready, be sure of what you've learned about prep and all and be careful with your meds.

    First couple of solo runs are very stressful.

    She might have been so stressed she forgot that she had already took her med and double dosed!

    I'm kinda surprised the LEO asked you to move the truck, Much better for her than a wrecker. Nice job lots a drivers wouldn't take the "risk" of moving another truck

    Regardless of what the situation was with the meds, that would be a tough first solo run to bounce back from.

    Like Kittyfoot said the first few are already more than stressful enough.

    Didn't move it far, just abt 4 truck lengths to a wide spot where it'd be out of the way. Then got my butt out of the way and let everybody roll. He never asked me for a statement, etc so I dunno if he even filled out a report.
