    unloaded my big load this morning with out any problems this trip. got a call to run a D7 from Houston to the job so off I go to Houston! north end of town get a call, it wont be ready until in the morning. no problem jumped into the flying J to camp out. BAD DECISION! waiting for a truck to get parked and all of a sudden my truck lurches forward, not once but 3 times then 3 more little lurches. set brakes and get out. some idiot in a 387 pete is bumping my trailer with his front end. I walk back and yell what the he11 are you doin. he just throws his hands up and sits there. i made him get out, he looks says something in Spanish (i think it was Spanish?) gets back in his truck backs up and takes off. i punch the side of his truck as he goes by. didn't do a dang thing to my lowboy except scratch the paint where i pin my axle on. he left parts of his grill and bumper on the ground! is this the new breed of drivers i have been hearing about????

    i think he was thinking about getting the hell out of there before i started grabbing him. (i may have scared him with the way i look) 295lbs 6ft 3in i used to body build in my younger years so i have pretty good size arms and broad shoulders. and yelling as loud as i could!

    I meant bumping your trailer with his front end. I could understand backing in and hitting trailer to trailer but I don't get how he could repeatedly hit you with his front end.

    usually i don't park in places like this but no other option available today. after parking i watched a crst tear off a fender of a sand wagon. not just bump it but completely tore it off. and he seamed to not give a rats ### about it. im scared about leaving my truck and going inside just to come back out and see my front end gone!

    I had my Pete 379 hit and run at the TA in Rockwall TX this year. Getting all too common. It's unforgivable. Cost me $3000 to fix. I no longer park in center rows.

    Pulled nose in to a spot the other day and another driver asked me via the CB. Driver can't you back up? My reply was I can but it seems a lot of drivers cant!!
