[QUOTE="bad company, post: 294672, member: 9308"] My first and only accident (knock on wood) was a hit while parked. I was at an industrial stop parked on the shoulder of parking lot, adjacent to the building and some parked cars. I was hit while parked, by a tractor trailer who was trying to manuver around me instead of waiting for me to get done. He almost made it, but scraped the very back end of my truck. Minor damage to both parties. Police cited no one at fault. Initially, my division manager and on-road said this was unavoidable. A few days later, after a conference call with the district manager, this was changed to avoidable. "A more experienced driver would have been able to anticipate another vehicle trying to manuver around you and would have compensated accordingly". Wow...I guess I missed that portion of the service provider training that taught us how to predict the future. I tried to plea and argue but it was pointless. I am convinced that every accident is avoidable as far as UPS is concerned. If I ever get a ride with a sup, I will park as far away as possible and walk/hand truck the stop. After all, I'd hate to get hit while parked. [/QUOTE]
