got wateR?
 
this was in 2001 before i got my cdl lol. was delivering bottled water out here in jersey. was a good paying job based on commision. i was flying around making my stops.(about 100 a day) was in a rush like always and forgot to close the doors on the entire side of the truck. i get in fire her up and hit the highway( a busy one) well as i made that turn to get onto the highway about 70 water missles coming shooting out the truck splattering all over the road. some rolled down the embankment others just came arrest in the middle of the road. definalty the most embarrising thing ever to happen. the only thing is i didnt realize it till i got to my next stop a few minutes away and realized i has no bottles left. i just stood there for 10 minutes scraching my head. a tad bit later i recieved a phone call on my cell from the boss asking if i was a little short on bottles... ummmmmmmmmm... drving back there and having to fetch all them bottls as traffic looked on was thrilling. interesting day

same job prolly a few months later parked the truck got out put my bottles on the cart and proceeded into the office complex. for whatever reason i glance back at the truck and noticed it had moved a few feet and had ideas of moving a few more. as my heart locks up i sprint back to the fleeing truck hop on the steps open the door and dive for the air brake. pssshhhhhhhhhhhh once again i sat there for 10 minutes trying to understand what the hell was wrong with me.

worked there for 3 years then i got a cdl been hauling flatbed since 2004. go figure :)

my grandpa drove for pepsi for 47 years....at one point he drove those smaller tractor trailers with the doors on the side that the load from the side

on his route one day he was in a store making a delivery and got a call that my grandma was in labor.....he rushed out of the store and took off toward the hospital, made a left turn as hundreds of bottles of pop flew out the side doors he forgot to close!

lol hes known for telling stories that are only half true but everyone in the family confirmed this one actually happened
