Got this off of CDLLife.com say what you will about T/A but this speaks volumes.

The one to be thankful for is James Miller not TA.

But it could be it doesn't matter how you hurt yourself. When you hurt yourself on someone else's property they are open for a lawsuit. James just saved a bunch of money. Meanwhile the truck will be towed or charged storage fees for $3000.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

Yeah they didn't do that to be nice, they did it to mitigate the coming potential lawsuit. Plus it's great PR.

 

Most likely it would have been minimal or equal to the amount they provided through goodwill.

It is not the truck stop liability that he was on the trailer and not properly secured.

 

maybe they're just nice people......that could happen too, ya know

 

Exactly. Next the T/A will be responsible for truck accidents in the parking lot.

 

I wish for Jerry to get well real soon.James may or may not be a saint.He might be worried about a getting sued in the not too distant future,

 

Why?

Was it the fault of the truckstop?

 

I really doubt the truck stop owner/manager was worried about a "law suit" at the time. Have we really reached a point where nobody can be credited for doing the right thing, just because it's the right thing to do? Why is it anyone in an upper management or ownership position is always presumed to be guilty until proven innocent? Good grief, people get a grip.
