    Doesn't matter where. I've been in the middle of rows, parallel parked, at a dock door... Doesn't seem to matter, they find me with gypsy magic.

    I have no idea why, but we allow mega carriers to pull our trailers. Every single one looks like a demo derby loser on its second day of service. It’s maddening.

    Once at an Ohio rest stop and once at a loves. Good thing is rgns are pretty tough and so is most heavy equipment. I don’t really get out very often anymore. Pretty much all local stuff.
    From what I have seen in the last couple years is more the white Volvos,cascadias and postars with numbers made from mailbox stickers or on cardboard driven by people who speak no English….and probably some that do.

    I think most dummies must think that just because it can hold some heavy freight they must be built super tough, it'll take a sideswipe no problem. The lack of accountability out here is pretty sad these days.
     
    Vampire, ducnut, bzinger and 1 other person Thank this.

    best i can say is..."stop going to those places"?


    seriously, if you don't have a set of cameras, then maybe consider the costs involved, and get them?

    at least then, you'd have proof for your insurance company, it is not a false claim, or you did it..???
     
    Vampire Thanks this.
