    I love the use of the words "minor", "slightly" and "incidents" by rookies out there banging up other people's property. Never gets old![​IMG]

    Nor does the indignant pretense to perfection from you old ('veteran') dudes.

    Tit-tat.
    Same coin, but a different side.

    And by the same token Ive seen obese safety types maintain a bluish purple shade while wavering between a coronary or a DVT trying to impress upon a very scared newbie in a very small room just how much the world now has to end because they did not show sufficient respect and care for people's property with such effermite and minor brushoffs...

    You can take flatbed out of there... a split axle 53ft is deffinately backed plenty for loading inside buildings... and truck stops are not really built for split axles either some of those spots your praying you dont break an axle or roll a tire off

    When you become the fifth "incident" he had are you still gonna be thinking this is about drivers helping drivers?

    @Chinatown is thinking he is helping another driver out, but what he is actually doing by helping someone like this get another job, is putting the rest of us at risk.
     
    ac120 Thanks this.

    Yep. If they had to shell out the 20 grand to fix the truck they just tore up they might learn after the first "minor" backing accident.
