    I missed an exit that I have taken hundreds of times over the last few years the other morning and didn't realize it for 2 miles..

    Does this somehow count? I played it cool though to my co-workers that might have kinda seen it.. Wasn't me.. What are you talking about?? I was in the yard 10 minutes ago.. They bought it.. hahahaha..

    It's been a great ride on this thread today. Lots of fun, lots of good-natured jabs, but, in the end.....I know I, for one, learned a lot. Thanks!

    I was at an older mom-and-pop truckstop without satellite pumps. Had a newly graduated rookie as me how he was supposed to get fuel into his passenger side tank without a pump on that side. I told him to either run the hose over the crosswalk behind the sleeper (that's how I do it, anyway) or slide it under the truck.
