Working for a Case dealer. Got in a new 4894 4x4 tractor. Boss said go unload it. It came in on a double drop low-boy. Driver backed it up to the dock. He had come thru an ice storm so everything was ice covered. I fired it up, put it in the lowest reverse, and started backing up.

In hind sight, I should have done one of two things.....should have throwed in forward and finished driving off the side of the trailer OR waited about 2 hours for all the ice to melt off.
