    You can't see squat backing into a doorway in daylight. What's funny is sometimes you'll get somebody to direct you, but they will get right inside the door (where you can't see them) and try to flag you, and then get mad because you aren't doing what they say.

    At our warehouse, we have a door you drive into to unload open deck loads. Most drivers will back in. I always pull in and back out so I can see what I'm doing, You can see much better backing out of a building than you can backing in.

    I agree with China. Turn this one in. Blame them for no lighting etc. Your insurance will not ding you for a stolen trailer it will show up somewhere. Dad needs support trust me he feels 100x worse than you. Who knows your insurance might already have this place as a must watch scam bunch of ....well you get it


    Be Safe Out There

    Update to this:

    The blame is on us. They got an engineer report which said the structural damage was caused due to our event. I dont agree to this at all.

    I dont know what to do.

    I will be posting pictures here tomorrow morning to get your input.

    Do you have insurance? If yes, it’s their (insurance company) responsibility to fight this on your behalf - not yours! DONT POST ANY PHOTOS HERE! Do not share them with anyone.

    Your insurance company will hire their own engineer, and they will argue percentages. As I mentioned in a previous post, you need to keep quiet. The case will wind on and on, but it’s not your job to do the insurance company’s work. If you feel that your insurance carrier is being unfair to you - get a lawyer.

    If you don’t have insurance, better get a lawyer quick.

    I can understand your sense of right and wrong, it’s natural. But you can only hurt your case by talking to anyone, other than your insurance carrier.

    REMEMBER: DONT POST ANY PHOTOS HERE.

    I had a lawyer on a case, and he made me quit Facebook (not a bad idea, anyway) He told me that Judges, and opposing attorneys have a knack for finding out things, that you don’t want them to know. I thought he was nuts for being so paranoid, but he insisted, after all I was paying for his advice. He was absolutely right, don’t give anyone ammo that can, and will, be used against you.

    Far Cough; That's such a clever homophone I might just appropriate it occasionally.
    Good job, Mr. Grubby!!
