Amen to that. I've had people ask when they get to be considered "pros" rather than "new guys". Well, it's right there in Condo's post. You are a "pro" when you can do a "whoops" (we all do) and are able to figure your own way out of it. Doesn't have to be elegant, just gets you safe.
Over the years we've all had our share of "worsts"; some we talk about, some we don't. Some things out here we wish we could forget.
But there are far more "Bests" than worsts if you look for them.
What is the worst experience you have had driving OTR?

One night my only option to eat was a Huddle House, I had the loaded chili special.
About 3am the gut gods decided to raze me from a comfortable sleep, well all I can say after that is trying to run and not cry out for a open stall is difficult when you eat the loaded chili special from Huddle House. -

Your friend in an intestinal emergency. -
So, now I have to move right and continue straight. 12 miles and 30 minutes later, after negotiating one way, one lane roads with parking on both sides, lots of steep grades and turns, 'No Trucks' signs on roads that were wider and safer than the one I was on, 'you must not be from around here' looks from the locals and the police patrols, and GPS throwing its hands up and telling me 'through routing for trucks is not advised or prohibited', despite the "Truck Route" signs along the way, I actually arrive at the receiver.
Good thing about it is that I was unloaded in 10 minutes.Dave 1960 Thanks this. -
