    By a CR England Student, with his Trainer in full supervision.

    Apparently the student forgot he had a trailer, and dragged it across the front of my truck.

    Sorry I can't post pictures.

    The Truck is at Freightliner getting repaired.

    I'm at a hotel getting restless.

    I would really love not to have an accident on my record, even if its not-preventable.

    23 years Driving, I've never had anything like this happen to me.

    I would call CRE and tell them that you want to be compensated XXX amount of dollars every day you are down ASAP. Also remind them that this situation is eating in to your home time.
