Certainly am! It is wrong to damage property that is not yours and walk off. That is what a child does! If you can't be honest about the small things , what are you honest about? Boils down to doing the right thing because it is the right thing.

Yes you are exactly right.Should he have reported it yes.But he didn't and to me it obviously must bother him or I don't think he would post it .He made a mistake and I trust he learned from.But for me to bash him and insult his manhood is on my part ridiculous because I've done much worse thinks in my life then hit a iron pole which is there so you don't hit what ever is behind it and not tell.So if you don't have things you've done in the past that you regret your the first one I've talked to.What I've learned is a lot of people will say they would run in a house on fire to save someone it's easy to say that until the house is on fire.Grubby Thanks this.

What about the Swift driver who hooked into a chain link fence and dragged 700 feet of it down the street and took off lol

I witnessed that; was waiting for dock space at the time. I think it was behind a K-mart. It's been a while, but the driver asked me something like,"What should I do?" I answered, "About what?" Guess the security cameras weren't on. The store manager asked me if I saw who did it and I said, "No, it was like that when I got here."
Similar situation with another Swift driver when he practically decapitated a car when he did a u-turn in a grocery store parking lot in the wee hours. About the center point of the trailer rode up on the car truck and took out the back window and broke the windows of the rear doors. Only scratched his trailer.Last edited: Sep 21, 2017

I'm sorry but I'm calling BS on you for this one
According to your way of seeing this every time a bug hits the windshield it's a "preventable" accident and you're picking nat crap out of pepper.
Sure. Small things happen every day
Hitting small branches of trees etc, etc.
If something like that happened and it left a mark that was noticeable I would report it
But please take that BS some where else
And I would take your $1000 too
We have a contract we've been doing for a year an a half delivering new counter tops and cabinets to Starbucks and Cricket wireless stores being remodeled from Washington state to Florida in 53' dry vans with lift gates- the lift gate deck adding an additional 3 to 4 feet to the length.
NONE of these stores where built to accommodate anything bigger than a small delivery truck at best.
Myself and our other drivers have to get into these parking lots and back the trailer up to the front door of these stores without running over curbs, shrubs, trees, vegetation, light poles, or anything else- we have to leave it the way we found it.
To date we have had no "claims" for damage to any store we have delivered to or had damage to any of our trucks or trailers and you can Google map Starbucks or Cricket stores in cities in those states and see if you think you could get a tractor trailer in the parking lot.
After you do that- I'll give the address to send the check to.Maj. Jackhole Thanks this. -
Here a pole. There a pole. Everywhere a pole pole.

Poles are made to be hit. That's what they're there for. To protect something else.

What I wonder is: Why didn't he hit the third pole?
Now that took sheer talent.
They don't make Swift drivers like they used to.
Grubby, scottied67, BoostedTeg and 1 other person Thank this.
