    Get your phone camera out and take a pic of it send it text it through to your office so they have a record of the exact date.

    You wont believe what would hit them things. I choose other words carefully but sometimes get censored for trying to bypass them when I am not lolz. Cannot win.

    Is it a scratch or poorly repaired bodywork from previous damage ... also some wash bays will peel off paint if the guy holds wand too close to the paint

    When the feces hits the filters, it's time to change the filters.

    Wanna find me REAL easy at any truck stop? It's the Landstar truck nosed in. Doesn't guarantee anything, but vastly improves your chances of your truck leaving the way it arrived.

    Let people that can't back or that are careless chew on the rear of the trailer, they will be the ones leaving scratched up.

    Always try and plan how your gonna leave when you shut down.

    That’s all fine and dandy until CR England backs in beside you. Believe me, they can find a way to get the trailer almost all the way into the spot. Then at the last minute, crank their trailer to precisely a 23° angle and tear your passenger door off without so much as a scratch in the Landstar asset.

    You should probably invest in my new tractor hovering technology. Send me just three easy payments of $59.95 and I’ll tell you how it’s done.

    I think its a matter of perception on the part of the bad driver. The trailer occupies the exact same footprint as the tractor. But it has a psychological effect that the tractor doesn't have, cause they know if they hit it, they are likely to lose.

    Man, I’m tellin’ you, CR England pays out a monthly bonus for the driver who can cause the most damage with one hit.
