I Made a Stupid Mistake - I Need Advice

So calling a wrecker and giving him a comdata check for his services isn't good advice?

 

Haha, jeez. I pass by 3 of them on the way to work, they are smalllllll.. The #### parking lot doesn't even look like its made for cars to park in. This new one by my house is a stand alone and the thing can only fit 6 cars.. I don't know how some of you drivers manage that.

 

Demolition derby...

 

You laugh, but I've seen a truck nosed into the store...literally...the hood was through the wall. The parking lot was icy, and I guess when he cut the wheel to turn, the truck kept going straight...right into the side of the building.

 

We've all made mistakes. Don't beat yourself up about it. Right now you need to concentrate on turning around the situation and making the best of it.

You learned several leasons. Don't drive or park ~28,000 pounds on grass. A bobtail tractor is more helpless than a tractor/trailer combination. People without towing and recovery experience almost always tear something up trying to pull a truck out of a stuck situation. And mistakes and lessons cost big bucks in trucks. One you hopefully haven't learned is excessive spinning can damage the power divider.

You are going to have to call a wrecker. You can't afford to pay out of pocket. It is a company truck so they need to be involved in the decisions. You will have to have them pay for the wrecker. They will most likely call the wrecker driver to learn about the situation.

From the way it sounds I think you are going to end up paying for the wrecker and the bumper. Hopefully they will take weekly payments. Take pictures and document everything. Write everything down - dates and times. Document everything that happens, who, what, where, when.

Good luck.

 

I'll admit that I traded paint with some light fixtures and some places.

Can we get an update here.

I'll be near that area later today..................

 

Took the words right out to my mouth. Well said. And for Gashauler, I have read many of his post, His advise is superior. If it wasn`t, Id say different.

 

Yes it is.
