Finally broke 500 hours on the Liebherr LTM 1050 with zero incidents

I hit 500 hours on that Liebherr in Bridgeport without a single close call and it really made me realize how much the little things like checking your sling angles add up over time.

Disagree a little bit. I've seen guys run flawlessly for a year and then a bad blindside setup gets them. It's not about luck, it's about never letting your guard down even when everything feels routine.

Had to read that twice, 500 hours with zero incidents?! That's insane. I mean I've had some good stretches but the closest I ever got was maybe 150 hours without something going wrong, and that was pure luck with a delivery route that never changed. Either you're the safest driver on earth or you just haven't had that one moment where a kid runs out between two parked cars on a wet road.

And 500 hours with zero incidents means you're either lying or you haven't hit that one rainy Friday afternoon yet.
