    Oh ok.Most of us have done some stupid stuff I know I have and you learn as you go.In your case sounds like all you could have done was back out of it.You played it smart and stopped rather then try to fix it by tearing your truck up.Of. ourse the wrecker is going to cost a hefty price but that's better then trying to get out of it and make matters only worse which probably would have resulted in getting fired and a real ugly mark on your DAC.

    Doubt it.

    But he'll have that dreaded visit with 'Safety'.

    That's where @Lepton1's State of Shock becomes State of Denial. Lol.

    Been there; suffered this junk @Boattlebot. Nothing wrecked, no one killed - you did well today, brother.

    No wrecker needed. Just a really good spotter that knows what he's doing and a couple of cops for traffic control got me out :)

    Isn't any pompous, holier than thou, self-righteous, sanctimonious D-bag I'd like to face-stuff my right hand into further than the few I've had to sit with.
    I've never not taken responsibility for my F-up's...... Why I'm reminded 12 times in the 15 minute meeting that it's my fault... Seems egregious. Yes: I've owned it; right out of the gate. Fire me or don't, but shut the #### up and let me leave either way.

    No such thing as a cool safety person. It's a front. Don't fall for it. They're the enemy!!!!
