Sorry Gas Nozzle! Poor New Guy!

So it was towards the end of the day. I was the truck that had to wait to see if there was any last minute loads, so I was sitting in the office when we heard a loud crash. A new guy started yesterday, and is training! He was fueling the truck talking to his trainer and drove off with the fuel pump handle still in the tank! I bet he never does that again. Snapped the end clean off and twisted the pipe coming out of the tank. It was a pain refueling my truck today!

Oh Wow!! I used to forget about the pump still being in the gas tank until i had an almost unfortunate day with forgetting about it. Now when I'm gassing up I always look at my mirror before I drive off. woooo gots ta watch out for that. Glad everyone was ok at the time of the incident.

YIKES, There's something i'll have to be careful about doing.

Lack of situational awareness.

Double check everything, including your mirrors before any move. This is especially critical at the fuel island.
