    Ruined? Yes as far as insurance is concerned. I would retain it and run out on trailer no problem.

    I'm pretty sure that when it comes to steers, the requirements are more rigid (pun always intended!). It looks like a separation from the wall there. NOT GOOD. Now I have a stupid question: Is that a recap on the steer? In any case you can use it as a spare for the trailer. Or maybe try to hit the tire warranty and try to pass it off as a defect. It might have already been there BEFORE the incident.

    That's not just drivers, that's the whole twisted culture. Lying is more profitable than magic, and profit is the name of the game.

    Well, I think there's a lesson to be learned here,:biggrin_25516:,,park far and away from where these schmoes can run into it. You may have to walk a bit farther, but saves this hassle. People been backing into trucks and leaving for decades at truckstops, you have to out think these idiots. Just saying what a boss might say.

    Looks like it was parked in a fire lane..
    Would that make it fair game if a fire truck had rammed it..?
