    Was inside getting a shower. I come out and I see this. Fortunately Werner driver saw Koch driver do it and that driver stayed where he parked.

    Under a load thats supposed to be delivered in Jersey Thurs morning. Was then going to get a load home. These guys are screwing with my money. Not happy to say the least.

    Some guys would probably roll with this. I'm worried what DOT will say,.. rather not risk it. Hood latch is destroyed,.. I cant even open my hood.

    Great Scott!

    I'm glad you got a witness and the guy that hit you stopped.

    Man that bites. But on the bright side you will finally get the hood painted...

    If it was me I'd try and get the hood to sit as square as possible and somehow strap it down. Couple eye bolts and a bungee cord???

    It will look terrible no matter what you do but with dated photo evidence of the deal maybe you'd be ok. Not sure.

    Better check under the hood for inside damages. I know you stated you can't open the hood, but hopefully they didn't break something inside..
