Just parked, ate, and just got in my truck when this unfolded.
I jumped into bed and was about to get ready to sleep when all you hear is a loud crunching sound and an air horn going off.
What are the rules here? Flatbed driver not parked in an actual spot. Both at fault? This is right next to the scale. With flatbed parked only room for 1 truck to squeeze by and that's if you use all the space available.
This is the Petro 2 off I-94 in Clearwater, MN.

The guy hit a parked truck. His fault no matter how the other guy is parked. That's why they have mirrors on the trucks. If he had been using his this shouldn't have happened.

Should of seen the look of an old -chubby- cranky flatbed driver jumping out with just pants on yelling at a confused middle eastern guy who actually looked confused like the truck just appeared there.

The fault is the Penner family giving all the freight to the new cheaper owner ops . They lost all their good old timers I know of 3 guys who left . Judging by the funky curtains hanging across windshield inside truck they got what they paid for.. PS I live 25 minutes away from their original terminal
