    When I still ran a 13 axle beam, I laid it down at night wether I was loaded or not. I had a guy try to drive over it once because he didn't see it. Another time I woke up on the floor of my truck because a swift driver trainer parked his trailer on top of my stinger. I was on the end and he came around the corner and laid his trailer right on top of my stinger and there it sat until the wrecker came. Tore out a bunch of his cross members. This is no joke, he asked me if I could just pull forward so he could leave........seriously.

    2006 WS. In 2011 that hood was 8k plus. Got into a screaming match with adjuster. Kid claimed he would get a used one from salvage. I informed him, if he found it I would. WS had to make us one.

    Nice rotator.

    I worked for a buddy for a season. He was short on staff and it was pretty fun. Ran I70 from Eisenhower tunnel to soldiers canyon. All the ski bunnies.....ohh...good times.

    It was a parking lot accident at 25mph to the left front corner. 43k estimate. We fixed it because no one state side wanted to handle it.

    This was after. I would have to dig for wreck pics. But I was in the passenger seat.

    Longest repair estimate I ever wrote in my life.

    WS is proud of their hoods. I smacked a Bambi a few years ago and had to get a new one. $7500

    insurance adjuster told me they would just rent me a tractor while mine was in the shop instead of paying my down time.

    I told her if she found a 4 axle rental truck with RGN that could pull my trailer - I would be excited to know where...
