Get Out And LooK! No shame in doing it!

Yep, That was a pull out hit....

 

A lot of accidents happen at the truck stop. This is one of my biggest fears and why if I'm unsure I pull the breaks and G.O.A.L. before anything happens. I know my trainer was backed into three times at a truck stop. He finally put a dash cam in his truck, one night he even moved the truck on me for a better spot that he was less likely to be hit at.

Two days ago I was up in Green Bay, WI at the Georgia Pacific and a DART driver had his fifth wheel into the back of his trailer and the fifth wheel was tilted completely up in the air on the back end. He was also unable to get his tractor to pull forward after that little maneuver. Moral to the story is he should of G.O.A.L. and he probably should of dropped his air bags first.

 

Or maybe this prostar was trying to make right turn while this guy was backing into spot Me too,I think this henderson guy was leaving,not backing in,he just forgot he has trailer attached to his bobtail

 

hate to see what small village this moron would take out if he had to pull out on the blinde side

 

15 yrs I've been doing this, I still get out and look if I'm in doubt, there's no shame in it, there's no shame in asking for a spotter, and there's no shame in saying "hey, that spot is too tight, maybe I need to find a different one". I've listened to these billy bigriggers on the CB laughing becuase someone took 5 or 10 pullups to get into a spot, get a clue. I'd rather take 10 pullups than take off a mirror, fender or front end.

 

Village? This guy would probably take out half of NY by the time he realized he hit something...

 

it also looks to me that he was pulling out with the angle he is at.

 

not giving him an excuses for this at all but ive noticed in my brief existance that some of these rest areas and truck stops have some very tricky spots to pull out of when its time to go. sometimes the getting out part is harder than getting in

 

"Pride through Performance" is the company slogan on the side of the wagon.

Not much pride, surely not performing either.

 

every one say's get out & look. Looks to me the driver did not have to get out & look. just turn your head & or look out the window.
