    It was on his driver side too mind you. Seems like he would have noticed it while fueling. I wish I had hit the 'Save Video' button on my dashcam, but I was stunned by what I was seeing

    If you have been to Flying J in Sioux Falls, SD( I 29, exit 83) in front of the fuel islands they have these large cement barriers that are probably 4' high and 3 ' in diameter and they are not anchored to the pavement, well I witnessed a Prime driver ( there were 2 of them) hit one of them with his DOT bar as he was leaving and proceeded to knock it over, but here is the good part, the driveway slants down on a 2 to 3 % grade and directly in front there are about 3 handicap parking spaces, and this larger cement cylinder began rolling down the driveway , and low and behold, crashed right into the front bumper of one of the parked trucks, blind Prime idiots, oblivious to the whole episode , just drove right out of the J and started heading to the interstate, dont know if they were tracked down or not.

    Lol reminded me of a time I bent a rim taking a curb. I was loaded very heavy and some careless truckers parked in a way where I had to hit the curb so I took her slow as I can and then I saw the front tandem tire give and bent the rim. Lol only one of them gave so I drove down went into the highway and pulled over then called breakdown and told them I hit a large pothole. This was with my first bottom feeder company. Made it more believable since I was in Jersey known for horrible roads. Felt like I got away with murder.:D
     
    Timin770 Thanks this.

    I used to help (and still do) around our Atlanta terminal. We had a driver who came in to cross-dock and the parking lot was flooded from a thunderstorm. Dude bent a rim on the way out and went ballistic "you should have told me that curb was there under the water!"

    I was like "Take it easy dude. This is the first time I've been at this terminal" which was true

    He better hope pilot doesn’t review the video and call the boss looking for $$ to fix the pole.
     
  10. Do they call the cops when you hit something like that?

    I dont think any Pilot folks saw it happen. I suppose they could review camera footage if they wanted to but I doubt they will take the time
