    At least you wasn’t riding a bicycle and hit the pothole.

    And if you have to replace the bumper put version without skirt at the bottom. Freightliner engineers live at the different universe I guess. There’s no logical explanation to this skirt from hard plastic with 2 inch clearance.

    It was filled with water from a couple days ago and I underestimated how deep it could have possibly been. Lesson definitely learned. I won’t be chancing it ever again lol.

    They’d have been wishing it’d been a decent looking woman yelling at them, time I got through making a scene, foul language would’ve been used, and may have got ahold of a lawyer for whiplash, pain and suffering and unable to work due to back injury.
    and tailbone injury, i’m sure the seat bottomed out.

    Exactly! The first thing I said when I saw the truck was something about why the skirt sitting so dang low. Definitely getting one without it or taking it off myself bcs that piece is useless.

    I came to a crash scene a handful of years back. Was probably 3rd in the que. No emergency vehicles there yet.

    Set the brakes and stepped out. Almost immediately heard someone yelling "My back!".... and 2 people at his door telling him they weren't going to pull him out (the wisest choice) and to wait for the EMT's.

    I didn't even go check on him. He was clearly in distress and other people had it handled.... Can still hear his panic ringing in my ears, as both of us realize that his life just completely changed.
