    In the voice of the Simpsons 'Comic Book Guy' - 'Worst TA.... Ever.'


    Also my first reportable backing accident. Left some trailer hinge marks in a Swift's sleeper.

    Totally my fault - poor judgment (many open spaces but I eyed a difficult one, generally not an issue - I had it.... then lost it. And no GOAL... Even after feeling: Good inside angle, but the outside is pretty ####ed - deep but crooked and unable to chase it around in time), all around. Now that I've busted my cherry - 367 days (what a way to celebrate the anniversary!), feel free to bust my balls. I suppose it's deserved.

    The shame.
    The humility.

    Hopefully they balance.
    Lessons learned.

    Private property. I think it will be marked as just a small incident if no DOT involved. Good luck

    No police. Exchange of info. Werner will call it an 'accident', which I suppose it duly is.

    I'm not all that concerned. I know where I F'ed up. The only damage (other than to his truck) is to my pride.

    But thanks, Bakari.

    You welcome. I know how you feeling, but I worked for worked for about 2 1/2 years couple years back and my trl door was loose and hit the yellow pole then it fell to the ground. They didn't pu anything in my dac. The only time Werner or these mega carriers will trash your dac is when you have an accident where DOT is involved or fatalities. But I think you should be fine with this incident today. I hope everything goes well for you brother and I hope Werner is treating you good just like they did to me. I miss Werner drivers and their terminals.

    All you can do is live and learn from your mistakes man. At least you own up to it. I started driving 9 years ago and I constantly GOAL. I'm sure from here on out you'll be a regular GOALer.

    Keep your head up bud

    The pilot down the road sucks too. I hate stopping there.
    We have stopped at the TA for minor repairs twice and they were good about getting us out quickly. Corporate took as long or longer to process payment.

    Sorry about your incident.
