Stupid Friggin' Accident

[MassWineGuy]

If not sure, GOAL. Remember any kind of backing accident now days is an automatic letter.

What's GOAL?

What's GOAL?

GOAL = Get Out And Look Don't try and be the hero. Get out and check your surroundings before you hit something. Its also allowed now on the CDL drive test. Wasn't allowed when I took mine many years ago, but it is now.

 

[MassWineGuy]

I've got no problem with that.

They don't teach any of this stuff anymore? No wonder the new folks are crashing all the vehicles.

 

[MassWineGuy]

No, no. I knew about getting out to look if I'm unsure.

No, no. I knew about getting out to look if I'm unsure.

And?

I think the can of worms had a point man.

 

[MassWineGuy]

The "and" is that I didn't realize it was such a tight spot. Drive and learn.

The "and" is that I didn't realize it was such a tight spot. Drive and learn.

And, why didn't you look?

I think most accidents happen in-station anyways. It's almost like they set it up for things to happen; packing way too many trucks like sardines into a station, and people sticking the spare trucks in the worst possible spots blocking everything up and taking away valuable wiggle-room.
At least it wasn't something bigger on-road.
