I starting to vee away from back to back parking as I get backed into almost every time.
Last night the guy hit me so hard, it pushed the truck almost 2 feet. When I go back to say something, he denies it. Then goes on to say, that nobody else has a problem with him backing into them.
What is it with some of the drivers now?
I paid alot of money for my stepdeck and prefer to keep it looking good, not to mention getting woke up late at night.
Does this bother anyone else?
Luckly I haven't had any damage yet. Before this year, I can't remember every happening.

you didnt hit him and say no one else has a problem when i hit them????????
he would have had to fall down if he mistook my trailer for a dock door -
I wanted to hit him, but then that is considered assult if he called the police.
I've talked to the police and they won't do anything about it, unless there is actual damage.
I'm thinking of setting my ladder on the back so there will be damage the next time for someone to pay for.
So does this happen to others on regular basis. -
In 6 years of driving only been lightly tapped once. No excuse for it. You should have demanded 50 bucks, or you would call his company.
-
That's quite a hit if you are getting moved about 2 feet.....
-
maybe his little 132 inch sleeper is really only 124 inches
some people are not good at math -
I think I will call his company but doubt it'll mean anything. Calderon Bros./RWI Trans.

I don't have a problem with someone tapping my trailer no difference then backing into a dock. That don't mean knock the hell out of my trailer.
-
I got tapped once. It woke me up, I looked out the curtains, checked the sides for a sideswipe, checked the front, nothing. Figured it was from behind, went back to sleep.
Sorry about the OP though. I'd call his company.Last edited: Apr 18, 2014

Oh i did a good 1 years ago...........
There was a Blue Beacon Truck wash near Columbus ohio(Not sure if its still there)
this was back in like 1991-92
i was waiting in line for a wash......For some reason (which I cannot remember), I threw that truck in Reverse, I backed right into a W-900 pulling a tanker.. HIT HIM HARD
The Driver was NOT in his truck..(He musta beenm inside the waiting area)
i bent up his grill,Headlight Bezel and broke 1 headlamp(The glass headlight)
I got Nervous..Pulled up and act like nothing happened
He came out and all i could hear was an older hand cussin up a storm.....
I couldn't keep a straight Face...Next thing you know here comes Barry Bad@ss struuting his walk up to my truck
he said something on the term...."Why didnt you tell me you hit my truck"?
I denied it to the end (I felt bad as a warm sensation of guilt swarmed my belly)
Never filed a claim or paid him a nickle..
Now ...As i matured over the years, I would look back on that and Feel HORRIBLE!!
