Man !!! An eerily similar thing happened to me a few year's back. I took a load from Michigan to Virginia. Like most driver's I was out of hour's, but had a rare pick nearby from my delivery. I knew the Piolet was only a few miles South of my pick-up. I got loaded, went to the piolet, for a Mean breakfast. Now I had at least 12 hour's off. I reveled at the idea of a good long sleep. I went into my bunk, put on a good movie to sleep to, with a full stomach, it didn't take long to start drifting off. Right at that time I felt my truck bouncing and moving to the Awuful screech of metal on metal. Some so called driver was trying to turn left ( I was in the last parking spot at the end of the parking line) he made the turn just fine, but his trailer didn't ! Now I had to spend hour's on the phone with my company, the police wouldn't even come out for a report. My right eyeball was gone, truck all banged up. Company told me to head home. I'm beyond exhausted, outta hour's, and have to drive from Virginia to Detroit without getting busted in a busted truck. I even had to deliver my load in Michigan, 30 some odd miles West of the direction I needed to go to get home. I made it back to our yard. Then they had me follow them to a repair place to drop the truck off. My Brother was there to pick me up. I was the new guy at this small company, and wanted to show my dedication to the owner. Big mistake !!! We had it out and my dumb ass quit the same day that I got home. They told me that I wasn't managing my sleep time right ! I mainly did this to look good for a friend who got me the job there. He ended up quitting a month later. After some 27 YEAR'S over the road ? That was my last time in a big truck !!! Nine year's later ? I don't care if I ever see one again. I did my time ..

[@Ward413]

It’s honestly one of the worst industries for sure. I had similar bullshit pulled on me where my truck was scheduled for shop work so the shop wakes me up at 6am and takes the truck. I walk around the yard bored out of my mind all day until 3pm when they call and tell me it’s ready. So I go pick it up and then they’re trying to send me a load for that night but, naturally, since it’s already late evening, all the available loads run all night. I literally had to explain how sleep schedules work to my manager and why I couldn’t drive all night. It was incredible. I told him I’d been up since 6am since that’s when they took possession of the truck. All the previous loads I took that week he could clearly see I was on a day schedule. He kept saying, “Well I expect you to get the load there.” They treat you like you’re a machine or something. Just because my duty stays was listed as “off-duty” doesn’t mean I can safely drive an 11 hour shift at any time of the night. It’s an awful industry and I doubt it will ever change.

The only thing is, is that there are more drivers on the road, which isn't necessarily the fault of the CDL schools, truck stops are also smaller and tighter due to the main chains (loves, pilot/j, TA etc) wanting to cut costs/maximize their profit... there are a lot of factors and it's not particularly fair to blanket it all under "those cdl schools" not training properly

treo, I make the exit to Mustard Seed, drive past it across the tracks and down to where the street makes a hard right turn. Just before that turn to the right you can turn left and find a side street. (140th?)This is a industrial/business park area. There is very little traffic and it's totally dead on the weekends. Turn your truck/trailer around before you park for the night. That way, you have no surprises when you are ready to leave. I haven't been there for about 18-24 months but I don't remember seeing any signs restricting parking. I do believe the town of Sumner has prohibitions about parking on city streets but the local cops aren't looking for trouble with a tired trucker quietly parked in a industrial area.

I got totally boxed in by a couple of trucks that decided to stack three deep, with me in the middle. I had to wake up the two truckers so they could move out of my way, in order for me to get back on the road to make my delivery.

Yeah, this is going to sound childish and juvenile but that's just stupid. I am sure you are correct but the reason is just plain stupid. Especially in areas where there are not a lot of houses. Exits that just lead to truck stops and then maybe a bit further down the road there may be houses or even a town but at every exit/entrance, there I for spots, one on each corner, where there should be no problem putting a truck stop.

RockinRob69 - Haha, that one goes in my book, along with "Sure Wish I Finished Training."

[@northcarolinabadboy8661]

Or. Every New Guy Leaves A New Dent.

[@northernlights880]

Glad to see other guys stopped him because he wasn't going to.

[@twitchw9066]

Ain't Truckin' Fun??

[@christopherbennett4559]

Boy talk about excitement. Them guys came out from everywhere. 😂

[@garyparker4189]

Fuckin Lot Lawyers are worse than females.Everybody knows a truck was clipped.Running out to the trucks like snitches

[@53philp]

I need to disagree with a lot of commenters...yes container truck in np parking zone, but......the driver of moving truck new it was a tight squeeze and made the decision to move through, his fault in any court.

[@JoeMama-bw2vy]

Agreed

[@mikelovetere4719]

As a driver with a million accident free miles, I agree 100%....The fault lies totally with the driver of the moving vehicle for not being in control of his rig at all times.That means in truck stops too...Him calling out the container driver being in a no parking spot was a bullshit lame excuse. And it looked like he knew what he did and was leaving the scene of an accident.

[@deadfreightwest5956]

It took me a bit to orient myself. This is a part of Love's I've never seen, as I drive a p/u truck and stop in the car lanes. But I see this is the exit to Port of Tacoma Rd. Years ago this was a Flying J, then they merged with Pilot and had to forfeit some territory to Love's. Boy, it sure went downhill after that. I can't imagine how it is for the pros. Their prices aren't competitive anymore, so I don't stop there now. Plus there's no compressed air at the pump, half the time the pump is out of receipt paper, and everything is filthy.

[@Ivellios23]

Container Truck in 'No Parking.' CR England truck could have, and should have kept going straight until trailer cleared, since plenty of room. CR England at fault for hitting stationary object... container truck driver's employer should update his dossier to reflect that he doesn't park with saftey as a concern.

[@mikelovetere4719]

You are correct. Him blaming the container driver for parking in the wrong spot is no excuse for hitting his tractor....

[@tyronejackson7334]

Laying on the air horn makes it even better

[@roadrunnerchickadee]

This Truck stop is tiny, there's almost no parking but it's the only truck stop around so it's always full. That driver was an idiot.

[@gemaalfandra4847]

Thris mourd drouing accidenting no.

[@robertbren1679]

I don't have trouble parking in that area, there are several truck stops in the area.

[@jammer910z]

Robert Bren .. yep. Great one down in Sumner on 167 in the business park. It's pay to park, but it's very clean, wide, no B.S. is tolerated. I'll pay it before I have my hood torn off up in that hell hole.

[@DonaldBriggs-i9y]

If I dont think I'm gonna fit I'm not going that way.

[@s.t.d.r.a.s.h.3703]

TODAY'S DRIVERS ARE VERY SCARY

[@curiousgeorge8438]

Gosh someone hit me even though I wasn't supposed to be parked there. Maybe if I wasn't parked on a no parking place I might not have gotten hit

[@TomO-if7nh]

Of course you didn't hit anything, the CR England guy moved the mirror for you :) But seriously, they shouldn't be parked on both sides like that. I blame Amerifreight and UASC too.

[@futureshock7425]

that's probably the most excitement that truck stop has seen in years!

[@robertodelira.6138]

1:05 : ) how to be woken up

[@Japarr1]

Looked like it said NO PARKING under the truck that got Hit!!!!!!!!!

[@ericsullivan9725]

you should have at least stopped and offered a link to your video. tons of witnesses but you're the only 1 with front row video. you should have stopped

[@snowlauncher79]

That Loves in Tacoma is notorious for accidents. It's always crowded and the parking lot is small and was designed when 48' semi trailers were commonplace. Needless to say there are several fender benders that occur there every week.

[@shucks_sesd_6195]

It’s his second day out of premier truck school 🏫 lol

[@leir2005]

I drove OTR for many years so I know what it's like to whip into a truck stop after hours and have to make your own space and if you are going to do that get up around 5 or 6 a.m. when people start to leave and move into a better spot

[@Marcusf250]

Blowin' the air horn for ten seconds makes everything better, huh.

[@goatsmiserable555]

Marcusf250 makes me feel fantastic

[@horizonchaser6030]

I know this Love's...Tacoma/Fife, Wa. It's gotta be one of they worst Truck stops for many reason of the Big 3 (Pilot/FlyingJ-Petro/TA-Love's) in the U.S. Definitley one to avoid, problem is there are few truck stops in that area so I always make sure I have enough fuel to get in and out that heavy congested area, SeaTac, Kent, Auburn, etc. before I go in.

[@popsxbox]

Lol! I drove 23 years and all of it was OTR. Truck stops are just an accident waiting to happen. This driver was a rookie. All he had to do was stop but he pushed on through like an idiot. Lots of idiot steering wheel holders out there!

[@CrismaFire]

I have been to this truck stop many times and yes parking sucks but trying to pass in that tight area requires slow driving and paying good attention.

[@twosuns8704]

I love how other truck driver come up & help. Smh yea right,why are there noisy people like that supposedly they were helping but they were just getting in the way.,it is soo annoying. One of the guys almost got ran over. Yes the truck driver hit him but he still has to park but no the guys want him to stop & block traffic for more trucks & possibly cause another accident. One other truck driver immediately took the role of a police officer or insurance investigator,I mean why would the two truck drivers need help in this situation,why even get involved.

[@666zerowolf]

good point....just vultures making a dire situation worse.....no one could spot or warn him???Just glad its not them...private property.,,the cops will blunder in next...

[@donkaufman2166]

What part of mo parking zone do you not understand several of those trucks shouldn't have been there

[@SuperBigblue19]

That T/S is a last resort place to park. Try google earth and save your hood. Though CR England driver wil pay with his job for not taking the pothole over hitting the truck. He did, what I would like to do, to the Army of idiots that park where they feel like it these days.

[@bobsullivan5714]

Yeah, this Loves makes the Pilot on Steele St. in Denver look good. Another shithole.

[@farmerdave7965]

The main problem I've found is that older truck stops are not designed for 53 foot trailers and are accidents waiting to happen.

[@alabaster6005]

If I park in front of another driver, blocking him in I will tape a note on my window apologizing, let them know I ran out of time on my e log then asking them to knock on my sleeper so that I will wake up and move, or I will leave a note on their window with my phone number so they can call me and I will happily get out of their way.

[@CRAPO2011]

Courtesy , people seem to no longer care to posess this

[@watutman]

That truck stop is tiny. There's an off brand truck stop a little east of there, and there are some country roads near there where you can park.

[@brownbuter]

both at fault...

[@Billy_Darley]

in hind sight but on paper moving object hits stationary so moving is at fault. crazy world we live in.

[@Tonyis138]

brown buter agreed

[@brownbuter]

hits stationary vehicle parked in a no parking zone(a violation in itself)...both at fault

[@brownbuter]

walmart is a private property , every business is a private property...parking in these places are created by local governments are are enforced....if u park in a no parking zone, u can get a ticket, double parked? ticket.. parked in handicap? ticket, parked in loading zone? ticket.....truck in video parked in ''no parking''? he is as guilty as the guy who hits his truck....park in designated area and u wont get hit...

[@cartman4885]

Not true I am a Calif trucker and have seen numerous times city cops and sheriffs come into the truck stops and issue citations for parking violations

[@lynngatrell7965]

Is that the Love's right outside Tacoma Port Authority. I saw my first lot lizard there. What a dump!

[@mr.b8372]

They wanted cheap labor and they got it.

[@legenda4341]

It says no parking so

[@BigHomie030]

what do you expect its an england driver 😂 thats like saying its a swift or Schneider driver😀

[@upmw2k]

Every New Graduate Lasts About Ninety Days , pretty much sums it up

[@chrischapman276]

I was going to say the same thing and I'm not even a 'driver', only put a "few" traveling miles on my own little diesel.... dodge diesel that is but I've seen good drivers and bad drivers. Both big and little vehicles. Mostly have been a lot of professional drivers on the last 1300 mile trip on the 15/40/25 from so cal to so colorado. At least in the big trucks...

[@isaacpulliam1979]

In what I just saw in the video, yes the CR England driver was wrong in hitting the truck and he should have been more to his left when going through that hole and the truck that he hit was parked in a no parking zone. Not only the truck that he hit, but the truck parked behind the one he was also parked in a no parking zone. I'm new to the game and it really upsets me that these drivers think they own the road. I feel for that CR England driver, but by law he shouldn't get a ticket because the truck that he hit was parked in a illegal parking spot anyone, but he should of still been more cautious of his surroundings

[@luvbig41]

Why would this "driver" turn before the trailer cleared the truck? That is incredible.

[@DavidAPaul-on7jx]

That’s the pilot/flying j in Washington I know that spot small tight place trucks park where the containers were all the time

[@andersonaraujo3262]

As a car hauler. I try as much as I can to start my day at 2 am. so I can finish my day by 4 pm, get fuel without much hassle and possibily a decent parking spot. There is no way in hell that I would be sitting in that "no parking" zone in ANY truck stop. I try to stay away from everyone as much as I can because of situations like this on this video.

[@taubabo4259]

I'm in this truck stop just about every week fueling up. There is always people parking in the "no parking zone" and its a bit more crowded now because of the pavement work they are doing right across the street where more trucks would park and rest.

[@sleepytickle]

England driver, probably new on the job, forgot that even in a shallow turn, off tracking is still an issue. GOT to constantly check your mirrors. Today, even light contact on a mirror and slight damage to your own tires counts against you!

[@xiathan]

I've only stayed at that loves once and vowed never to stop there again. Its tight, and just to use the scale is frustrating, let alone park there.

[@mandynixon2258]

with all the land you have in the USA, why are trucks squeezed into tiny places

[@jerodvel]

So grateful for the mute option.
