    Wasn't it a back-in spot that you pulled head-in to? Just curious. Personally I would back in knowing this might have happened. Those make-your-own spots get filled up every night...

    Ive never seen a driver,nose park,directly in the face,of another driver,especially with their lights on.
    Someone tell me this happens often?

    I wonder if its legal,to put a razar sharp bumper,on our trucks..something like a can opener..that way,when someone removes your hood,the other vehicle spills its load,and schreds his tires...nice thought anyhow.

    I'm assuming there are 2 rows of parking spots and trucks are (or mostly are supposed to be) backed in against each other. Like the truck to your left would be backed in against Crete trailer. Of course there is no marked parking spot in front of you, but assuming that the driveway to the row you are in is behind your trailer, you would do better backing in to that spot. If there is no driveway behind you than I do not understand why would you let that volvo even park in front of you and how the trucks to your left would ever get out. I may be wrong, don't know the layout, just random thoughts.

    I don't get it either, I've never seen anyone park against someone parked against a curb

    The entrance,exit,is directly in front of me.
    I entered,fueled,and backed in to my spot.
    The spots on the left are unmarked,but all the wide loads are backed in there,Im in the very first parking spot,where lines are present.
    I understand,everyone needs a parking space,and I have more than 10 hours remaining,before I can leave,for my drop.
    Might as well wait till morning,then ask driver to move..just being a good sport about the whole thing but..the driver could have backed in and had his lights facing away from me.

    Anyone who wears "lime green anything" is automatically at fault!

    The pictures of the accident are not wide angled enough. It does not show the Swift truck that caused the whole thing!
    Swift did it!

    I want to thank you all. This thread was a ton of laughs. Two megas banging trailers together is funny in itself, but you all made it hilarious. Did anyone answer the question if that was a trooper or the fashion police?
     
    tucker and Razorwyr Thank this.
