The flatbeds that are 53foot, with a lot of overhang, these things happen. Seen a Melton flatbed do the same thing in a truck stop. Sometimes it pays to drive in to a parking spot.
Sorry you have to go through this Jim. We all know the feeling when you wake up and you know exactly what is up and you rush to the horn in hopes of stopping the carnage. The damage is indeed horrendous. Melton knows exactly who it was as I'm sure they GPS track every truck and you told them where it happened and they can see who did their 10 there. Hey you never know. It happens man.
Welp, guess he got it out of his system 🤷. MELTON 😡👎.Those truck drivers that park nose in have PTSD from those bumps in the night.... probably thinking NEVER AGAIN 🙅
Melton will locate the truck and driver easily, now rather they will own up to it is another story. Wonder if it would be worth the trouble to file a small claims court st least for your deductible. Melton advertises integrity,guess we will see.
@@jimc8802 As card full ? Uhh. Set that thing on loop and when the collision happens it’ll stop looping and go into a mode where you retrieve the footage. This is all basic stuff for a cam. Which cam you running ?

Hard to even sleep at a truck stop knowing most people these days will just take off to avoid responsibility.
Right! That’s why I have four cameras running!
That sucks happened to me. I got hit by a truck in a truck stop.
Been CDL’n 2.5yrs, been hit 3x’s. All 3 I was parked at a mega stop. 2x @ pilot, 1x @ loves. I do my best to avoid mega stops now
They should be able to find him. Melton can find out what trucks were in the area at that time.
Dang! That sucks. There are definitely some crappy drivers out there. I hate parking at truck stops because they are just so congested anymore.
Man that sucks, what’s the point of insurance if it doesn’t provide payment for lost wages while the truck gets repaired.
It should if u know how to ask for it
Sorry to hear it Jim. Hang in there brother!
Thanks
Happed to me last week. Driver took out my mirror and scuffed my driver side fender. Took off while I was away from the truck.
It sucks!!!
looks like you were backing up,and hit something..😂😂😂
Sorry to hear that bud I enjoy watching the videos and updates
You could of put that small piece in the Passenger seat.
You have breakdown pay for straight lease
Not if you get hit you don’t. Only for mechanical breakdowns
Did you get a police report? Even on private property, it was a hit and run.
No I didn’t
Hope they catch him and the company fires him….
It almost pays to take a picture of the doors and plates of both trucks parked beside you so you could track the losers down
I was thinking about doing that
Feeling bad for you Jim, heart breaking. Wish we could do something.
There was a rest area less than 2 miles away, from that Loves, I always park there, I hate truck stops too
I'm sorry that happened to you😢. Glad your safe. Your good spirit will keep you on the right track in life

Hey you never know. It happens man.
I have felt ur pain. Repeatedly.
It sucks man
@@jimc8802 I got hit in my Pete at Prime 4 times.
We all know flatbed drivers can’t back up. It’s a damn same they can’t even drive forward now.
You don't know crap.Im flatbed and I can put it anywhere
Sorry you have to go through this again this year. Enjoy your time off when you turn in this truck!
😊 Drifter
What a mess 😧 I hope they catch the driver! What a jerk to run away 🤬
Sorry to hear. Its a shame that you have fork over thousand dollars for something out of your control. Hopefully Milton will do the right thing
Automatically suspension of cdl 1 yr hit and run
Sorry to hear about that. Any cameras around the truck stop? Hang in there.
Look who drives for Melton. Its always the same. Lousy drivers.
I saw your truck today in Prime 1 I wanted to say hi but it looks like you weren’t there
Hi 👋🏻. Nope I was gone.

Good luck 👍 love your boat.
I don't understand why you pay out of your pocket.
It’s the insurance deductible
OH NOOOOOOO! I was excited for the video but damn Jim
Cameras on all 4 corners. Ask the truck stop for video
That's gonna be quite a bit more than $1000
Not to me. Insurance

Ask the truck stop if any Melton driver got fuel about that time and the other driver s if got videos
Geez
Swift strikes again
Get you a 360 camera you can mount in your cab or somewhere on your truck. That's what I done caught the guy that did a hit and run on me
ITS PRIME TIME BABY!!
Had to be a SWIFTY Guy. Is your truck owned by Prime?
It was melton. And prime owns it
@@jimc8802 So will Prime give you a replacement truck so you could carry on making money?
Repairs could be a month.
@@KickininMyRv90 it’s time to turn in this truck anyway. So that’s what’s happening
There goes ur bonus. I got hit 3× while parked in truckstops, foreigners, every one.
I got hit twice in California
Well... hi. Sorry about the costs
I caught the guy. So no costs to me. He got fired
@@jimc8802 good! Im still.watching!
Why do you have to pay a deductible? Don’t you have a dashboard camera?
It’s the insurance deductible. I’m lease. I have cameras the SD card was full
@@jimc8802 As card full ? Uhh. Set that thing on loop and when the collision happens it’ll stop looping and go into a mode where you retrieve the footage. This is all basic stuff for a cam. Which cam you running ?
My 🚚 down free rental.?
Ducktape and keep getting up 🎉
And you did log on duty when doing repairs right
Don't you have camera's on your truck. Some one hits me I do not pay nothing. If I hit something I pay.
The SD card was full. 😒
Damm sorry brother
Raider fans strike again
😂
Learn where to and how to park.. how many times do you need to get hit before you say to yourself maybe it's something I'm doing
It’s nothing I’m doing. Parked perfectly straight and legal in a legitimate spot.
@jimc8802 Lmao. He's saying watch where you park and choose wisely so when someone pulls out, they won't hit you. 😅😅😅
Brave Men!
What a mess! 🫣
That sucks.
