It was on his driver side too mind you. Seems like he would have noticed it while fueling. I wish I had hit the 'Save Video' button on my dashcam, but I was stunned by what I was seeing

If you have been to Flying J in Sioux Falls, SD( I 29, exit 83) in front of the fuel islands they have these large cement barriers that are probably 4' high and 3 ' in diameter and they are not anchored to the pavement, well I witnessed a Prime driver ( there were 2 of them) hit one of them with his DOT bar as he was leaving and proceeded to knock it over, but here is the good part, the driveway slants down on a 2 to 3 % grade and directly in front there are about 3 handicap parking spaces, and this larger cement cylinder began rolling down the driveway , and low and behold, crashed right into the front bumper of one of the parked trucks, blind Prime idiots, oblivious to the whole episode , just drove right out of the J and started heading to the interstate, dont know if they were tracked down or not.

Lol reminded me of a time I bent a rim taking a curb. I was loaded very heavy and some careless truckers parked in a way where I had to hit the curb so I took her slow as I can and then I saw the front tandem tire give and bent the rim. Lol only one of them gave so I drove down went into the highway and pulled over then called breakdown and told them I hit a large pothole. This was with my first bottom feeder company. Made it more believable since I was in Jersey known for horrible roads. Felt like I got away with murder.
Timin770 Thanks this. -
I used to help (and still do) around our Atlanta terminal. We had a driver who came in to cross-dock and the parking lot was flooded from a thunderstorm. Dude bent a rim on the way out and went ballistic "you should have told me that curb was there under the water!"
I was like "Take it easy dude. This is the first time I've been at this terminal" which was true -
Not a problem, glad to fix it for you.
-
He better hope pilot doesn’t review the video and call the boss looking for $$ to fix the pole.
-
Do they call the cops when you hit something like that?
-
I dont think any Pilot folks saw it happen. I suppose they could review camera footage if they wanted to but I doubt they will take the time
