    The only time i went to the wrong truck was at the TA in Savanna GA..Have a bad habit called sleep walking..Wandered out of my truck, walked around my truck a few times, thought i was going back towards my own truck and pulled on the handle of another. The door opened and the driver apparently told me I was at the wrong truck,,and that mine was parked next to his. I walked off and began a slow walk towards the exit,,again according to what this driver told me, he jumped out of his truck and ran after me cutting me off and giving me a gentle shake after he realized i was walking about in my sleep. I somewhat woke up not knowing where the heck I was and why i was walking around barefoot in my nightclothes. He told me your sleepwalking girl,,get back to your truck before you get run down..He made sure I made it back to my truck with no problems with some advice to seek a specialist on sleep disorders.
    That was the only time Ive ever slept walked out of my truck thank god. At home its a constant problem.

    I did a complete walk around, checked all the tires, brakes, lines.... then when I went to the door, i looked up and the driver asked me if everything looked ok! LOL. pretty embarrassing, but good thing he thought it was really funny.

    He thought it was funny because he didn't have to log the pre-trip! Just flagged it "performed by unknown driver".....:biggrin_2559:
