    I wish I had been showing off. It just happened to be my day. Makes up for those days when I'm lucky to back into the correct zip code.

    One of the first things I was told in trucking school over 2 decades ago, was "pull up's are free".... has never once bothered me no matter how many I had to use. As has been said, get it done without an insurance claim and it is a 'win'.

    I think we still have that mindset that the super truckers told everybody "if you need to pull up more than twice you ain't no trucker". I promise you that Billy Bigrigger there probably can't back to save his own life. I don't care if I gotta pull up 57 times. I'm not out here to impress. Im out here to get the job done. Simple as that.

    I'm not hard on myself for stuff that is in the past. What's done is done and all that matters is what's next. The time to be hard on yourself is when you're preparing for something you're about to do, not after it's done.

    If you was a true professional you would know to blame it on something or someone else it is never ever your fault.
