    I got hit last night while I slept at the Loves in Dickson Tn. I woke up and my right mirror was folded in with minimal damage to the mirror back. Also the corner of my trailer was dinged up real good.

    Will Loves review surveillance tape if any exists and help my company?

    I've done everything on my end but was just curious if TS's will help us in these circumstances.

    From personal experience (Pilot, Hisperia, CA), it's easier and more rewarding to try and wash dirt until it's clean, than it is to get a truck stop to help.

    No Rerun I didn't. I just took the pictures and got in my truck and went. I have 700 miles to go today and just enough time to do it in.

    This was purely out of curiosity and after the fact. The OWNER of the truck will handle the rest but thanks for your help.

    Pretty sound last night. Usually pretty light though.

    Let's here your theories on how this is my fault?

    Oh this should be good....

    Were you parked in an actual parking spot? If not, totally your fault.

    Never park in a corner spot, always park in a marked parking spot (i know it's impossible at times), even though it may be convenient to park closer to the truck stop, try parking further away from all the traffic(especially near the fuel islands)....Dna Mach, sorry to hear about your incident....its a shame that there are driver's out there that would do this, maybe they didn't know they hit you, who knows, but it is still a shame..

    To answer the question instead of the insufferable bs.

    Unless your really dang close to the fuel island they won't have coverage. They keep cameras at the pumps for drive offs as far as I know. Although one of the guys in Christiana said they are adding or have added for the tire shop.

    Hell give 'em a call most managers will talk to you on the phone about it.

    If you would have parked facing the other way then the right side wouldn't be damaged now would it....


    Sorry couldn't resist. :biggrin_2559:
