I had a tri-axle dump truck that I hired out by the day to mostly excavation companies. There was a small console between the seats with controls for the body and the lift axle. The air valve knobs for the tailgate and the lift axle were right next to each other and were both round and nearly the same size. One time coming into a 90 degree intersection I pulled the knob to raise the lift axle, and immediately realized that I had pulled the wrong one. I pushed it back down but I was too late.

They charge a minimum of $500.00 for clean-ups, but they didn't figure out where it had come from. As soon as I got home that day I took my grinder and converted one of the knobs from round to square.
