Rookie driver backing incident

Hell if a straight back goes slightly blind side because I didn’t snake right I’ll GOAL. Ask me how I learned. Never trust a spotter. I’m trash at spotting and I’m above average at backs.

 

I'm awful at everything, but I'm good at getting out and looking when I'm not sure.

(I'm decent. I'm not a magician, but I've been studious long enough that I've never hit anything in 19 years. Cumulatively that may seem like magic, but it's just mostly never being in a hurry.)

 

Had this happen last year, the helper was trying to scam the driver for cash for existing damages. The receiver had video of incoming trucks and was nice enough to check the video for us when the driver called us. They saw the damage before my driver arrived so they didn’t like the idea of the shakedown. The cops were called to file an attempted fraud complaint against the helper, the receiver said this happened before with this truck and that helper and his company has been banned by the receiver for any of their locations.

 

That's a common scam scumbag truckers use to make extra money.
No telling how much money that guy has made from the same scratch on his trailer.
One guy was making $300 every time someone backed in beside him. He kept a broken mirror on the drivers side of his truck and would charge $300 to replace it. He was doing this several times a day.

Not my first time in a strait jacket.

 

So. Is the other guy waiting for the video? Or did he have other things to do and left because you called his bluff.
