Brand new dollar general gets built on a slope where they built up a pad and did a stone retaining wall and railing. First week two kids in a sleeper cab 53 van decide to do a 180 in the tiny lot [which is an engineering disaster for trucks, essentially back in only from a busy road and plug the stores only entrance]
Anyhow trailer tail knocks the whole railing and wall out. Kid just kept pushing backward to make clearance for the tractor nose to pass the building. It was a real usa truck moment. Codriver just sat in the passenger seat. Couldnt be bothered to spot his partner.Last edited by a moderator: Aug 13, 2019

D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
I have actually done that before, it was a very light kiss, but when I walked back to see how close I was, I was touching. lol
I figured the driver would come say something, but he didn't.D.Tibbitt and Trucker Kev Paid Tourist Thank this. -
