Do you ever return to your truck and discover it aint the same anymore

Ive never forgotten that I was pulling a trailer, but I have been bobtail and forgot that I didn't have a trailer.

 

Once, After fueling, I was pulling out of the fuel Island and making a turn messing with my gps, and looked up checked my mirror just in the nick of time. Glad I did or would have ripped of some dudes hood.

 

Two days after replacing the faded volvo headlights with halogen headlights I was at the company yard looking for a parking spot. With no trailer I decided on a empty spot between two trailers all the way back. Now if either of these drivers leaves and someone backs in they will have plenty of room. Just as I lay in the bunk and start watching a movie I can feel the movement of the trailer on the driver side. I was thinking of putting the movie on pause while looking for my remote. That is when I hear the dreadful crunch sound. And now my brand new halogen headlight is in peices. So I wonder why the steering wheel holder didn't get out and look. He had been driving for three months and seem to have no clue how to back. Thank you driver mill. It's all about quantity not quality.

 

My buddy at another company came in early to get ready to haul his load of feed to farms.

He noticed the truck beside his is smashed.

While doing the pretrip, he sees his trailer bumper is bent in and crumbled a bit.

After checking with several workers, he finds out that the guys that load the trucks overnight backed his trailer into that truck.

That wasn’t just a little bump, it was a big bump.

I seen that box truck in the shop earlier in the day being fixed. Now it’s back in the shop for a new hood and bumper.

 

I have gone over a curb or two in my 30+ years, but never hit anything other than that, unless I was supposed to, like dock bumpers

 

Same here. When i stop at the ta in Columbia NJ on my way out of jersey in the morning i usually stop there buy a little jersey fuel and nose in between 2 trucks that are prob parked for the day. Or if nothing else looks good i go back to party row and get some exercise
