    Because they are a bit dim?
    Loads with times like that I would use the counter option in the mac 9 to adjust the delivery time, and not accept until they rescheduled the delivery time.

    Stuff loaded on the floor are between the shipper and receiver, and I would never offer to pick things up for them.
    Those loads are impossible to secure so they won't fall down.
     
    dptrucker Thanks this.

    At the Pilot in Indianapolis, IN, and another truck just hit my truck.
    Damaged the right headlight.
    I was able to get his truck and trailer numbers and spoke with him for a few minutes.
    He said he was going to park and then took off. He sure did not seem to be too concerned about it.
    Western Express, and he said he had worked for Swift before.

    I called the police and am waiting for them to arrive to make a report of the hit and run.

    Don't know what this guy was thinking, since he saw me writing down his truck number.

    ...
    Just finished with the police and calling Swift claims.


    And to top it off, one of my trailer tires is flat.
    My delivery isn't until 1230 tomorrow so I should be able to get that fixed in the morning.

    What a night.

    I don't know. Maybe I will hear something about that.

    The strange thing is, he was trying to park in the handicapped space on my right. There was no one to the right of that so he had plenty of room.
    One handicapped spot at the beginning of the row, and I was in the first reserved spot next to it.

    claims able to see if the camera goes off.
    they always tell me to manually hit green button when something happens.

    My DM was looking at some footage but hasn't found it yet.
    It went into an extended recording and had saved a couple hours worth in 1 minute clips.
    He did see when the cop car was parked next to my truck, me walking back to the truck at some point, and both those were at least an hour after the accident.
    He said it looked like the first clip was at 1900 MST, which would be 2100 EST and about 15 minutes after the accident. ?

    The low and high beams both work, but the marker/turn signal are not working.
    I am at the Gary terminal to get that fixed and to install the bunk heater.
     
    dptrucker Thanks this.

    I threaded the needle apparently. In and out of Commerce yesterday. Came in from Coachella and out over the Grapevine. A little rain around Banning and some fog, but over all it was clear.
