    No kidding. Three people almost got themselves crushed.

    "Here's a bright idea, I'm just gonna open my car door and step out in front of the big truck that has inches between it and the other parked cars, then look up in surprise when I realize how stupid and oblivious I am."

    The head of load securement here is being very cool about this, said I could take as long as I need and that I can get some one on one time with the rough around the edges but heart of gold coil after securement class pfft haha dang I think all this time I should’ve been pursuing a comedy career, oh well at least now I could perform a good trucker routine especially at the fuel island; I read a “Fuel Island 10 Commandments” or something like that on here that was pretty good, most involved what not to do with your piss bottle

    @farmerjohn64 clever. Why I didn't think about it when ive straped down there numerous times.

    @D.Tibbitt that is pure genius. I mean the size of the eylet comes into play but yeah.


    Both of those ideas are going in my big black book of tricks.
