Look what I did.

Definitely a wtf moment. Happens to everyone. Sorry for your misfortune.

 

To just fix the side rail is going to be about 4k. Crossmembers extra with labor.

 

Wow that sucks man. Hopefully you can get it fixed in a decent amount of time. I know you felt like a real dumb dumb when it happened. I almost did that when I first started driving and caught it at the last second. Was kind of same situation as I was trying to eat a sandwich fast and get on road again. Now I never eat unless parked.

 

Um, nobody said, unless I missed, DO NOT load that trailer. Those cross braces support the whole side and floor, and the forklift will be on the ground. I've seen floors break out and it starts with a broken cross brace.

 

How much your insurance have gone up?

 

What’s done is done. 3-4 cross members and a section of side rail it’ll be good to go. That’s what Insurance is for, Hope the fallout doesn’t cause you too much grief.

 

Zero, it went down actually. Not allowed to explain why but if I could I would.

 

Lol I’ve done that my fair share I also triple check my fuel caps after fueling, walking around the truck another time. Also the hood latch, one time I hit the brakes normally at a stop light and wham goes the hood.

 

I wish I could say stuff like that never happened to me, thank goodness there were no cameras back then. Another good one is forgetting the lines and light cord,,,WHAM, daycabs could break the window,,,oh yeah, we've ALL had some doozies,,
