    The guy probably didn't even know that he hit this truck. I hope that they caught him.

    I mean the flat next to him tried to turn into the space, and just kept going till he finally noticed he rolled up on the green truck.

    That will be an expensive repair job. I know those breather canisters are not cheap. And it looks like he may have broken the tie rod or bent the axle around. In any case I would expect a wrecker bill. He isn't going anywhere with that wheel. :?

    I don't get how the flat couldn't feel the hit to begin with. They said drivers were running from all over the lot to try and get the flats attention, they said he just kept going .

    That is a lot of damage to not have felt something. I don't know, perhaps the guy was on drugs or just too tired. In any case, his insurance company will not be happy. Having had this happen to me twice, I know the victim was not in a good mood when he found out. :evil:

    He should have seen it, but in any case he should have felt something and stopped until he checked it out.

    Well of course he should have seen it,......but he didn't,...now the next thing would be to hear it, smell it,or taste it,..... that didn't work either,..so now we need to move to feel it.
    I'm thinking since his sight was not working at all, that the rest were not working also,....but he should have noticed some resistance at some point,......right?

    Why? Because as usual, you have nothing of value to say on the subject and just want to start something? Talk about ME having a lonely existence....

    Don't blame the driver. He may have just got in the country last week and obtained a CDL yesterday.

    He will be a trainer at the end of the month.
    CPM is a pay scam that most trucking company's use to get around paying overtime for excessive hours of work and other monitory issues.Get paid hourly and prevent sweat shop conditions.

    Did he back up and straighten out? He is in his stall square.
    Don't trust anybody. Especially that guy in the mirror.
