Thumbs down a rather.. UNpleasant awakening!






Yep, around 0600 this morning, i was peacefully sleeping when i felt my truck rock,, i was like "this is not good" i pulled the curtain, and low and behold, I saw the trailer embedded in my headlight and bumper!! It was an A to Z transport Driver and they were based out of New Jersey.. I got out and snapped pix and then got the driver's insurance info and I called Swift and he called his company, we exchanged info and then he was on his way and I was back to sleep.. It was kind of frustrating cause i lost about 3-4 hours sleep dealing with this whole shebang.. I kind of feel bad for the other driver as he told me that his accident is gonna prevent him from getting another job he just applied for as they required so many years accident free. If I owned the truck, i would have just settled for cash but since the truck belongs to Swift, I had to go thru all the red tape of reporting this mishap.. AND i am a little annoyed as my truck had NOT ONE scratch, now it looks like most of our other trucks, (banged up and scratched)!!

You are lucky the other driver didn't just take off too.
