    Guy pulled up from the fuel lane right into my trailer wheels when I was driving away after scaling. The funny thing is there were two of them in the truck. I guess one was a trainer.
    We had to move trucks to let other people go, but when police came, they tried saying that I hit them, untill they were called liers, by the guy who was behind them in the fuel island and saw this accident.

    Lucky you had a driver wait around till cops showed up for you or you may have been told their dash cam was not working by their safety dept. ?

    Good reason to have a 3 camera system. One facing forward and 2 on mirrors facing back. Can even get fancy and put a wireless one on DOT bumper.

    I'm confused? Did the cop think your trailer moved sideways into the front of the other truck?
