Anyway No more than 500 dollars damage on both. I didn't tell him about the second one till I got back. I wanted him to tell me to my face it was my fault. Needless to say his tone was way different when I wasn't 2000 miles away.

1. Another driver backing into your truck at a truckstop and/or shipper/receiver
2. Your sitting at a stop light and another vehicle hits your truck (could be from behind or someone coming from the other way and they careen into your truck)

Quit trying to separate the fly s#it from the pepper.
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." You plagiarize this from Einstein and attribute it to yourself as an original thought. Any accident where the driver acted in a reasonably expected manner to prevent it.

Your t-shirt with this on the front and back is already on its way: :withstupid: Here's another one: Driver is going north on I-55 in IL, a thunder storm comes up fast and violently. Truck is blown off the road and knocked over. Was the driver at fault? No. Was it preventable? No. How was that determination made? By the Safety Department at CFI. Why was it made that way? Because there was an IL State Trooper not more than 200 feet behind the CFI truck....who filled out the report and stated that the driver did everything in his power to stay on the road in the sudden bad weather, and the truck was blown over by a tornado. My friend.....there are ZERO absolutes in this world... at least where people who have a grip on reality are concerned. Absolutes exist only in the minds of "know it alls"....or "wannabee" know it alls. No, actually...there are 3 potential "absolutes"..... Birth, Taxes, and Death. 8)
