    You're right, it's #######. :) I did that about 18 years ago and I still have to check my caps after fueling. Luckily, I drive a day cab and can look out the back window and see both tank caps.

    The human race only has experience with one perfect person and we crucified him.

    I think every driver here atleast once forget to raise the landing gear and start pulling out. Hearing the grinding noise makes most of us stop :)

    Never done that or the tank cap thing. I am guilty of driving away with the doors open though. That happened one time when I waited over 8 hrs. to have 10 pallets of apples unloaded. When they came out and gave me the paperwork, I was so anxious to get out of that place that I drove about a half mile away before realizing the doors were open and still clipped on the sides of the trailer.

    I wonder if situations like this will make the capless fuel fillers a reality on big trucks...

    Quoted to preserve the names of those that think shooting cops is warranted!
