Stop being like that, you're not the truck owner nor a collusion estimator, if you see a truck contact another, take action, don't sit on your hands.

it was PLASTIC, NOT metal on metal.....
and further, did YOU SEE the bumper BEFORE that other driver made his turn.>??
did you get out and look as the other driver was making his turn?
or sitting on yer butt, inside yer truck?
can YOU prove the scrape was not there BEFORE the LOUD scraping?
since you DID NOT GET OUT AND LOOK, oh, look what i did there..G.O.A.L.
i think what you heard was maybe the tandems squeaking/creaking like so many do when making turns.

B.S.
Let the driver know and forward them the photos, he can make the decision to follow up.
A tree scrape or rock chips are standard operating wear and tear not another vehicle striking yours while legally parked. -
It was a scrape noise. Not a metal scrape but a scrape sound nonetheless.
I didn't leave any note when I headed to ALDI so they were gone when I got back. I guess ultimately that's the final answer.Snailexpress, buddyd157 and Kyle G. Thank this. -
Didn't get out when I heard that. Partly because I thought he was parking not turning around and I didn't see any value in being underfoot. And partly because alot of guys get really emotional about this stuff and I don't need the drama. I'm almost 52 years old and until last winter I was a desk jockey. I'm in no way ready willing or able to engage in some Male pissing contest in a parking lot.Snailexpress, buddyd157, D.Tibbitt and 1 other person Thank this. -
it could have already been there.
the scrapping noise could have been from his mudflaps scrapping the ground.
in the end, you really did not know, and i think it was best you did not leave that note. -
And lets hope that the barr Nunn folks are nunn...the wiser. Or at least not being harrassed for something that they can't even explain let alone defend. -
very few are company drivers, at least, this has been my experience.
i don't believe that Barr Nun will be any wiser.
as i say, that damage could have been there, and that driver even if he did hear any noises, could have just as easily seen where his mud flaps were scrapping the ground.
question, did YOU SEE that truck move, shake????? -
Personally, I would have given the B-N driver the info and let him/her decide how they wanted to handle it. Like someone else said, maybe the scrap was already there, maybe it wasn't, but I know I'd hope someone would do the same for me in the same circumstance.
Hit & runs are real crappy, but with the current "your fired" environment over the smallest infraction(s) this is what we have now, too bad...AModelCat, D.Tibbitt, Qbf594 and 1 other person Thank this. -
I appreciate your input. I think we've reached the end of useful conversation but thanks for your time.clausland Thanks this.
