Your Most.Embarassing Moment?
Discussion
Reading elsewhere about the Scania not revving made me think, whats the most.embarrassing thing that you've done?
One of many of mine was the first.time I took a Merc with.the EPS.shift out, id moved it in the yard and knew how it worked( so I thought)
All went well, got to where I was going, lifted the cabin onto the trailer, put the crane away, jumped in to reverse out......
Where the f!*(s reverse???? Surely you just hold the wee gearlever back till it pops in? I had to phone the other driver to find out what I was doing wrong...
Also.i.was.completely blocking the road and couldnt.go.forward
Not my finest hour

Got to yard, picked up tractor unit, found trailer, reversed onto trailer (pulled forward to check), jumped out and connected soozy lines, froze as truck starts to roll backwards across yard!
Didn't put the handbrake on!
Jumped down and whacked my hand on the brake pedal. Turned around and there were 20 or so staff outside smoking and eating as it was a sunny day. Que them all clapping and cheering.
Highly embarrassing.
As there are some newbie drivers on here its worth pointing out that if it happens( I think.we all.do it once) jumping down is a.good way to die under the wheels. Pull the red line out, it'll stop sharpish.Didn't put the handbrake on!
