    Truck stop probably has security cameras that will show the true story.

    I'm confused. The only way I can see Stephens moving the tanker that much from that angle is if he was backing up, and I can't figure out how or why he would be backing up right there.

    Need video. Surely some camera saw it. Some camera sees everything.

    If Prime hit him then there should be a scrape down Prime's trailer, I would think.

    If its just a dent, then Stevens hit him.

    Stevens HAD to be backing up, couldn't have gotten at that angle otherwise because of the trailer not involved.

    Yeah. He was just parked jackknifed across five spaces when Prime tried to squeeze in there.

    Agreed. Stevens backing up and not looking out the right side. That is until the crunch. Stevens has no reason to be at the angle he is. Other than learning to backup and not using his mirrors. Tho the other question is, why wasnt the trainer paying attention to the rookie.

    Prime's wheels are behind stevens. Stevens drives are under Primes trailer
