Post by: Woodhauler on October 16, 2010, 04:33:49 PM
Hauled a load of firewood to a member on here , snowstorm and backed into his pick up when i was turning around! I am sure that the pick up must have jumped into the back of my western-star cause me being a professional truck driver their is no way i could have hit it! :D ;D

 Sorry we found out,hope you can find a fix.
I know of a dodge with a ford rear bumper because they hold up better,so it must of been a good bump.Always makes your stomach queasy.

snowstorm you shoulda got into your pickup and shown that western-star who was boss around your place.  ;)  :D  you know the ol' saying  "An eye for an eye".   :D 

Hey, atleast you guys can laugh about it.  Just tell everyone that your truck has a lazy eye.  ;D tell em that ol' star crumpled like a pop can too cuz your truck was built Ford Tough.  eh eh

Best thing of all was noone was hurt.

One time my dump trailer's tailgate came unhooked from the side as I was pulling ahead dumping the load of firewood.  The client's min-van didn't fair so well.  It smashed in the sliding door pretty good although the door still worked.  He wasn't concerned about it .  Said it was a POS anyway, it was, and not to worry about it  :-\ ;D  Not sure how his wife felt about it and they've never called me for anymore wood ;D :D :)
