So if a trucker hits another truck and there is no damage, does that qualify as an 'accident'? You be the judge.

The herd needs to culled period. That's an IC too????? I'd absolutely report it. Those hinged might be tweaked now.
If he parks where it's easy he would have to waddle his fat ### across the lot. -
No harm, no foul. You asked the other driver if he needed to make a report, and he said no. I would leave it at that.

How can anybody watch a 12 minute video of a guy parking, bumping and hitting?

What was he doing in the sleeper when you walked up to the passenger window?
Lepton1, noluck and AtticusRoad Thank this. -
Don't you think you should have waken the Tribe driver up before you decided to play traffic director? Let him and the swift driver handle it accordingly. If I was the tribe driver I would have wanted to take pictures before the idiot in the Swift truck moved damage or no damage.
And then your commentary claiming he was in the sleeper "taking a hit" or "taking a bump" when you walked up. Ignorance.
That camera of yours again, keep sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, only a matter of time before it bites you. -
Award winning drivers....yeah, Darwin Award. Does Swift have a part of the skills test to measure ones common sense, or do they just see that as a big waste of time? Just think...this guy is rolling next to us on the highways and worse...he's parking at the same truck stops we do.
To answer the question. Yes, this is a preventable accident. I probably wouldn't make a big deal of it, but after watching the video...I'd be fuming over the level of ignorance here. Really man, there's no excuse for this.(and it's on his sight side to boot!)Last edited: May 1, 2017
