    Throw a rock at him. And then report him with pictures of the damage.

    Catch him and pull his kingpin, nah seriously get his company info and shoot a msg to your safety dept. Then call the sheriff, with any luck his logbook will be all out of sorts and he'll get numerous violations and loose his job.

    I don't think I would involve the law. However, if he is so arrogant he doesn't check for damage or injury, I would certainly report him to the company. I can't believe some people. He had to know you were there.

    That would be very nice pay for layover and detention indeed. I know two large companies, one lowered their layover pay from $80/day to $60/day in early 2009, the other told me their layover pay is $8/day, all after the first 24 hrs. There is no incentive at all to keep the driver moving. The loser is the driver. I don't need 5 years of experience to know when I'm getting the shaft!:biggrin_25524::biggrin_25524:

    He didn't hit my trailer,so I would(like I have done many,many times before)mind my own business.
    Minding your own business is a concept many need to grasp and quick!!

    No your not going to call and report every speeder,every driver you see texting or riding with
    a beer in their lap.
    Justified Hypocrisy should be a recognized mental illness,plenty out here eat plumb up with it :biggrin_2556:

    He did hit my trailer...not directly ....things happen I understand this.

    He's pissed and called me to say so. I told him if he would have his arse out the truck before or after I could understand and wouldn't have said a thing.....just plain laziness.
     
    Yup Thanks this.
