Ha aint that the truth,as the say .......well you know what happens.
I think we've all done things in a truck that made us feel like an idiot.
I remember once when I was still OTR I had the hood up while fueling and flipped the windshield wipers up so I could give the windshield a good cleaning, well when I was done I put the squeegee back the bucket and dropped the hood.
Dropped the hood right on my still flipped up wipers and smashed them all to .....
...doah!....just one off my list of oops moments lol.

I just did that a couple days ago! Put drivers side down, flipped latch and closed hood then sat there and wondered why it didn't close properly lol. Glad I always keep spares under the bunk!

So that's why FL wipers don't flip up. I knew that there had to be a good reason.
Stuff happens, and not just to me. I try to never get in a hurry while working on the ground, falls are painful and fixing screw-ups isn't good.
I'm glad the OP could still smile about it. -
I never take my load locks out when sweeping out the trailer. I lay them on one side of the trailer and when I am ready to sweep that side I toss them over to the clean side.
pattyj Thanks this. -
Like I said in a previous post I always move locks to the side when sweeping trl out.But im also guilty of doing a stupid thing.Before I put locks on the cat walk and got busy with something else then leave and forget they're there.Happened twice during my carreer and both times I remembered before getting too far down the road and thank god they were still on the cat walk when I stopped.Now immediately when I have ahold of the load locks they go in the holster.

I dont have much of a load lock worry since the receivers usually steal them after unloading me. It reached a point where I got tired of trying to get into the freezer to retrieve them since it had locked doors with keypad entry. I think Tyson steals them on purpose they have about 100 load locks piled up from truckers.

Reminds me of removing my half bumper after I busted it up in front of everyone at the shipper.
