    Parked at wal mart in Concordia ks doing some shopping and come out to my truck when a knight driver comes up to me appolagizing for hitting my trailer .
    I would have never known till later .
    Just a little knick in the rub rail , I laughed and told him to have a good day and he should charge me for polishing it lol.
    How often do we see this kind of honesty !?

    That's a lot better than the note I found on my pickup..."I'm sorry I hit your truck. There are a lot of people watching me and they think I'm leaving my name and phone number...but I'm not".
    The damage wasn't too bad, a headlight and a grill piece, but I'd still like to find that person.

    And kudos to you for not making a federal case out of it like many would.

    That is the truth. I wish we could all give each other a break now and then and get along a little better.

    No kidding. "I didn't see nothin" is my position for anything minor nobody will ever notice anyway. Especially on some junky fleet trailer that already has a bunch or marks dings and scrapes all over it.

    These stories always make my blood boil. Probably good I don't bother with personal vehicles anymore. I don't miss the stress of analyzing every parking situation for minimum idiot danger

    Maybe no one seen him hit the trailer. Maybe he was raised to do the right thing.
    Kudos to you too @bzinger . I'm sure that guy breathed a big sigh of relief to your reaction.
