Trailer hit by newbie

Almost everyone today walks around with a 12 mega pixel camera in their phone.

Use it!

I have convinced my insurance to deny claims when the individual driver took enough pictures to prove the other party was at fault.

Personally I took the frontal picture of a new tractor with a paper temporary in the passenger windshield.

It was just a total shot of the entire tractor and I was able to enlarge it enough to read the carrier's information printed on the temp form...

You want the view of the other driver, skid marks, the over all scene, close ups of the damages but no blood guts or gore.

Pictures of the documents, including the driver's CDL and the tractor registration and the door-sign.

Sometimes the name on the registration is not the carrier, without enough backup you can't prove otherwise.

If the OP continues in this business, this may not be the the only time he can't collect on the damage.

On the other hand this may the best time on the OP's time driving for this lesson to happen.

 

what wages?

 

Should be fine. It would be wire transfer

 

STOP

GET A CHECK.

 

I would not take a check or money order. They are to easy to be fake. Had a Cashiers check years ago get cleared in my account and then 3 days later turned out to be fraud and I lost 5K out of the deal. It was a legit check but it was stolen from a bank in. Big scam with the bank employees.

 

Again, get a check, it is better than a bank transfer where you give up your numbers and POOF!!! your account is drained.

GET A CHECK!!

 

How do people do business with everyone else outside country? Most use bank wires so this cant be that easy to do. It is also someone that he has met and has information on them. Can't see this being an issue but who knows I guess. I would prefer a bank transfer than anything. If it is a check you better tell them nothing is good for 7-15 days to confirm it has cleared your account.
