Got my CDL yesterday. Drove from Central FL to Louisiana, no problems. Try to park the truck outside our hotel for the night…

Park it, lol. Three other trucks parked on the side of this road, plenty of space… I just found the worst spot. No damage to the truck though, free and clear… parked and goin to bed.

Why did you park over the curb?

Well, you just crushed your oil pan and 15 gallons of oil went into that storm drain. BTW the cover likely got pushed in in soft mud by 12k lbs front end, that’s why big trucks are a no no on soft shoulder or grass. Wait until EPA sends $30k environmental recovery bill. Engine is likely totaled if it was running when oil pan caved in and dirt and debris got into crankshaft bearings. I’d wager you have done fucked up, 3rd day ehh?

Fucking hell this is a terrible way to start your career. But at least you’re safe. The truck is replaceable.

Sure is a bad start, but still not the worst thing I’ve seen a rookie do on the first week.

Open storm drain, no cover or anything over it. Surrounded by unmowed grass. Lesson learned, check your parking spot first.
