Some years back we had a drought, crop failure, and I was desperate. I helped a friend with his fuel delivery business. I thought he would do the logical thing and have me do a route close to home where at least I knew the roads and people. (I was surprised at how much there was to keep track of with different fuels, tanks, valves, pumps, tickets, fill locations, etc.) No, he sends me over in snow/hill country! It had just snowed a little. It was the kind of quick coating that as soons as you drove on it, it turned to ice. I backed in, and UP a drive, by a house, popped on the parking brake(air), and took my foot off the pedal. Truck slid forward! Don't you think I was concerned getting that thing where it hopefully would stay long enough to chock it. Then I didn't trust it. I could picture it sliding down the drive, across the road, into the far ditch, with me on tow, hose ripping loose, vehicle coming down road not able to stop, 60 GPM pump pumping fuel all over!!!!!!! Yikes!!!!!!
