Just the other day, I had a close call where a small mistake nearly turned into a big issue and it really helped me tighten up my habits. It got me thinking what’s a near-miss that shook you up and changed the way you do things, whether at work or on the road?
What’s the scariest near-miss you learned from?

A few years ago while I was hauling equipment I hit a patch of wet leaves on a backroad and let me tell you the trailer started swaying more than I ever expected. I didn’t end up crashing but it was close enough to make my heart race. Ever since that day I’ve been super careful to double-check my load and slow down on those slick spots. It’s funny how a single moment can change your habits so quickly
