Oh how many mirrors I lost doing that.
I would have told him Yep I take cash, $1000 would fix the problem. I would have taken it and then told him I am still filing a claim against his company for the truck, the money was for the aggravation.
My Chrisrmas gift today.....

Chinatown, TruckDuo and mickimause Thank this.

An elderly woman bumped the side of my car in a Kroger parking lot and put a small dent on the passenger side. Beautiful black T-Bird Super Coupe. She panicked, so I told her, "Forget it, I like my car, but I don't love it." I refused to give her my phone number or insurance info.; "Just don't worry about it, it just doesn't matter." Geeze, it's not the end of the world.
4noReason, pattyj, klaman and 1 other person Thank this. -
I would have taken the cash.Why make a huge issue out of something as minor as a mirror.
-
I'm sorry this happened to you and your brand new truck. Please keep us posted.
Chinatown Thanks this. -

Im not upset today like I was yesterday. Crap happens.
i wasn't too upset that he hit me. It was the fact he left. That really pissed me off. Make me feel like adumb ###. It turned it for an easy situation (hey this guy hit me, here's his info) to a more cmpicared issue.
If I had lied, with my luck.... I would get hit at a Truck stop for real within a week....just the way it happens for me. When I've lied and said I was sick to get a day off in my old job, I got sick within a week...lol..!!!
when I've told lies, I always get nervous and over lie. I'm just a bad lyer. So I avoid it. I would have made up some elaborate story about the mirror. The company would probably know I was lying.... For what? 50 bucks? I would rather they just handle it. I'm done. I hope the guy doesn't lose his job but learns a lesson or something.Chinatown Thanks this. -
The longer you're in the trucking biz the better lier you'll be,lol.That guy that hit your mirror probably has enough marks on his record and why he left.
G.Anthony Thanks this. -
The private property only matters about the cops taken the report--the hit and run--witnessed and attested to is a whole other matter...I would have called him--since lumpers had cell...told him not to worry too much cuz my company said they would handle it...but the (insert local leo agency name)kinda wanna have a chat w/ya--not sure where/when its gonna happen--but since they got your Name-phone #--company information--trk/trl #s--I reckon they'll contact ya directly--sgt I spoke with(on conf call w/my safety director)says they take felony hit and run purty serious round these hear parts--and since..my maintence director says these here newfangled bumper mirrors are molded inta the hoods--the whole kit n kaboodle gonna have ta be replaced and thats bout 4k in parts and labor,,plus paint and downtime...and nice sgt said leaving the scence of anything over 500 takes it from misdemeanor to felony.....
Oh yeah and have a Merry Christmas there good buddy......
Course i would jus got info--called my boss--who woulda called our ins guy to run the whole thing down and get his money....but he dont have ta know that....... -
