    Always but always set the brake before leaving the cab. I bet he'll never forget again!

    that was an expensive lunch.

    he should have "brown bagged it" that day.

    and maybe he will be suspended for a time as well too.

    Wonder how long it will be before we have alarms that go off when the door opens if the brake isn't set? Seems there has been a rash of these "brake not set" accidents recently.

    Freightliner already does on new Cascadia models. My 2017 sets off the horn if the tractor brakes aren’t set when you open the drivers door.

    I always double check the breaks before i leave the chair. Sometimes i recheck after i checked to make sure but maybe im just paranoid.

    no you're not paranoid.....i have done that a time or two myself.

    what's REALLY annoying is that i can be at say the fuel island, and i pull my brakes as i wait my turn. then the truck next to me slowly takes off, and i jam on my brakes, thinking that i am rolling back....

    then i swear at myself for doing that.
