    So, just how is hitting a parked vehicle (chassis) not hitting a parked vehicle?

    What would you say would be your answer if you owned a trailer that was parked in a spot and you came back and found someone hit it and or did a hit and run? Would you just ignore it because your truck wasn’t hooked to it at the time and give the person who hit it a pass?

    You hit something... You ain't supposed to hit anything. Unless we are talking the docks.

    What details are you leaving out? 25 yrs of hauling intermodal, I've hit and tapped parked chassis a few times. Was this on a ramp? At the port, At a depot? On the street? Need more information.

    I know these aren't containers, but was the scraping more like the first or second pic? I could see getting written up for the first and if there were no other problems, not likely to get fired over. Was there a conversation with someone right after the incident? There's gotta be more to this.

    just saw how old this is. sorry
