As a professional driver, I've found myself in many situations where someone parked where they shouldn't have. It is a professional responsibility to avoid any preventable collision, such as this one.

Nothing pisses me off more then my fellow truckers who feel they can park wherever they want with no regard for other drivers

That's what you get, green container truck, for being one of those jerks who park right on top of the yellow NO PARKING letters.

Just a few months ago a driver parked in a no parking zone at the Loves in Minden La., a tornado came through. The Loves sign came down on his trailer. Went through the legal process. Drivers error due to parking in a no parking zone. The container driver was clearly in the wrong. With a decent Attorney the container is responsible.

I've been driving for 10 years, in the past 3 years I haven't slept, parked, or visited a truck stop. Sleep in a rest area, cook my own food, and buy fuel where it's actually cheap. I avoid other trucks like the plague, too many inconsiderate idiots out here.

NO PARKING MEANS NO PARKING

Those truckers swarmed like ants when you stir up the hive.

HAHA... illegally parked and had his hood renovated .. serves him right.. 🤣

Container driver jumps out all excited like he himself didn't do anything wrong, like parking in the middle of a zone there... But what really burns my buns is all those butt wipe drivers who have no business out there blocking traffic, thinking no one knows what happened but them... Drivers need to stay out the way and let the drivers and PoPo take care of things...

Wow, a gang of trucker ninja's trying to give CR a hard time like they hadn't ever done any wrong.

That’s when all drivers get out from theirs trucks and knows about mechanics and are experts in astrophysics 😂

Always start my day around 1 AM and shut down sometime in the early afternoon. 9 times out of 10 there's plenty of parking, but I know enough now to anticipate where the late guys are going to try to bunch up at. I always plan my exit strategy. A lot of truck stops I've gotten to know exactly where they'll end up parking because it's the same every time (probably the same people who keep doing it).

Rookie mistake never take your eyes off the tail when you do that's going to happen even the super truckers too✌🏽

I would have made the guy move he shouldn't have been there. If truck stop is that full go to a rest area. I woke up one morning to find a truck parked directly in front of me. I start early 2-3am so I banged on the door and told him to move the hell out of the way. Drivers have no right to block folks in.

Yeah, I've been to that truck stop. Drove in and right on out! Very crowded. Even with the experience I have now, I would still avoid that truck stop. 😞

Park in a no parking zone, you deserve every single destroyed front end. Well, that and you're driving a Volvo LOL

There are sadly way too many truck stops built like this. Very claustrophobic for trucks the size that they are now.

That Tacoma, WA Love's is small and tight and a clusterf*** to start with and while the CR England did hit the other truck that truck shouldn't have been parked there in the 1st place no matter there's nowhere else to park...

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 ..

Holy shit that was my classmate and team driver hahaha. I was asleep in the back and woke up to what I thought was him backing into a fence. Then I got up and was like wtf dude. After looking at it I told him he shouldn't have tried it and he said he shouldn't have been there. Lol now I'm sending this video to him 😂😂

That Loves is near the top of my list of truck stops to avoid!

That Love's is in Fife, WA. not in Tacoma. just sayin. Anyway. It is the worst one in the country. Nasty showers, the building is dirty inside and out, and the people working there are not much better. the parking is always like that.

My dad's a trucker (a very good one- accident free since the 80's, and that one wasn't even his fault) so he taught me how to drive. I rodeo and haul a 40 foot horse trailer with living quarters and I frequently stay at truck stops. The best part about driving a "little rig" is the fact that most truckers steer clear of me because they fear I can't drive and might hit them when pulling out. 🤣 I watched 2 truck stop accidents last weekend in Montana's... however both at fault were triples... so me personally, I give them props for even having the balls to attempt that.... because I sure wouldn't. Lol

This is I believe one of if not the worst truck stop in this entire country.

That Loves is where I never park at. I go down to the Mustard Seed in Sumner on Hwy 167 and pay for parking.

This is why I avoid Loves Tacoma like the plague!

Absolutely hilarious to see all the super truckers come flying out of their rigs! CR knew he hit that container truck.

What I hate about a lot of truckers is they know darn well they’re done a lot worse. The only problem is we don’t know about it. Especially the main ones laughing 😂 at fellow truckers.

CR England That name strikes fear in the experienced trucker!

Mirrors are amazing when you use them.

it doesnt matter if someone is parked in a wrong area or bad area, you dont just steam roll through care free. You get out and ask for driver to move or ask for help maneuvering around a tight spot or ask someone else to move to free up space.

Had a guy tear my mirror off almost exactly just like the video when I thought was going to have a peaceful lunch. Luckily I caught the idiot in the act (This was many years before dash cams were around.) so I wasn't blamed. After that I always parked in the most open, in the back spot I could find and listened to guys making fun of me but I didn't give a shit what they thought and kept doing that until I retired.

the driver in the c.r England truck is not wrong the guy should have not been parked in a no park zone he's at fault.. whats the difference if Im on the shoulder parked with my light off and someone runs into the back of my trailer? I'm wrong cause I'm not suppose to be parked in a no parking zone unless I'm in an emergency situation with flashers and triangle outs.

Bottom line is a pro would not have hit anything.

One day I almost took out a mirror, but I heard someones horn and I instantly stopped when I heard it. That horn saved me from some serious headache.

Am so glad they finally took down that love's and replaced it with a brand new. That parking lot was always a pain and it is finally fixed.

the most tragic thing in this video was the preventable hood music

This is one of those strange corners on KZfaq isn’t it...

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

1:08 Anyone else have zero sympathy for the guy that was hit? Literally that entire row of trucks on the right would not be able to pull out far enough because of that jack ass.

Actually it fault was of the container , because he was parked on illegally​ parked

*Every New Guy Lasts About Ninety Days. ENGLAND.*

I had the same thing happen to me at a TA in Montgomery Alabama some years ago. I was in a RV and I was lying down on the bed while waiting on my daughter in law and grandsons eat. I heard a big truck come by me real close so I sorta sit up and I felt the RV moving side to side in a rocking motion. As I got up I could see the trailer of a big rig trying to take the front off my RV. I got up and got outside and his co-driver was out of the truck. Think he was trying to help him park. The driver acted as if he knew nothing had happened but there were lots of eyes watching and on the CB, telling him what he did. His company paid for it all. $4000.00 worth of damage.

Doesn't matter if he was parked in a no parking spot England could have avoided hitting him no excuse

Seems to me that if someone, especially retired truckers want a good business opportunity, open a trust stop. Even if it is only a few miles down from another one, there can never be too many truck stops. There just is not enough room for all of the trucks on the road.

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.

I've been driving for almost 30 years, never heard of ANY tickets being issued at a truck stop ! I drove a big st8 truck , was parked along the curb , in the designated area, had a driver TOLD ME , I HAD TO MOVE OVER , because , he wanted THAT space , because he didn't want to park in the back row , I politely said that I wasn't going to move , he stepped into "my space" , thinking , I guess, because he was bigger, I'd be intimidated, he was wrong , I was, however, tired\cranky, I told him to back-off, "why,whatcu gonna do" , I popped him one, dragged him to the grass , and went to sleep . Never saw him again . P.S, NOT proud of that incident .

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.

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.

Even when someone fucks up, it still doesn't give you all rights to hit his truck. So many people have a holier than thou attitude. Just because someone has their truck license doesn't mean they're smart.

If you're not parked in a designated parking spot, and this happens, you are SOL. Saw it happen at Flying J in Conway, Ar. and the cops said the parked truck was at fault. The bad part was, it was mid morning, and lots of empty spaces. The driver just didn't want to walk to the showers.

He does have a point , when you park in an in authorized spot you run the risk of getting hit by an idiot driver that swerves for no reason

All the more reasons to have a video recorder on board.

I had an over tired trucker try backing down my street, in the city? It's not a dead end street. He forgot to put the gas lid on his tank (diesel all over the road) and couldn't compensate for parked cars and telephone pole. I finally got him to let me drive. I never drove a big rig or one with 53' trailer. Wasn't all that difficult though. It reminded me of my youth and those long days on the farm (slow & careful ) Wouldn't want to do it full time, though.

Update to the last scene at Tacoma, WA Love's Truck Stop. That Love's Truck Stop has been torn down. The new Love's Truck Stop is getting closer to completion. The truck that did get hit shouldn't have parked there. But nonetheless, the trucker that hit the other truck, we'll, that driver is not a good driver. Completely his fault. The pavement was clearly marked, "No Parking." The area in front of the trucks across the road is all parking for trucks now as well, when Love's open's up. I am a local truck driver with 13 years of driving. I had stopped doing OTR long time ago. I now haul logs to the Ports. Three of the Ports are right down Port of Tacoma Road from that Love's.

this is why you never park on the end of the row!

Thats what happens when you created a parkinf spot

I drove trucks for a while. My experience is that some truckers are so tired, they are unwilling to look for a better and safer place to park, so they just park where there is an opening, regardless of whether it is a posted no parking zone. 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. I guess they never realized other truckers might leave early in the morning for some reason. At least they were nice, and helped me get out.

Block me in and when I wake up early I'm knocking on the door no questions

Ain't Truckin' Fun??

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.

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

Loved it now he know not to park at no parking spot 😂 I kinda have a feeling that cr England guy done with this trucking job any way and didn’t give a fuck to look back or anything..

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

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.

Laying on the air horn makes it even better

In England we have no stopping boxes which are bright yellow boxes with diagonal lines in each direction making a hash pattern. I think that's clearer than a few small lines of text

1:05 : ) how to be woken up

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.

What I find the most astonishing is the ENORMOUS potholes in that parking lot.

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

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

both at fault...

I see that C. R. England is working hard at becoming the new ‘Swift’......

Wow! I need to find this guy, my Volvo 780 needs a new hood and bumper and a paid 2 week vacation while my truck is getting fixed,.... that's Awesome!!!👍🤣👍

TODAY'S DRIVERS ARE VERY SCARY

Do truck stops enforce parking? I'm assuming no.

He must've been driving one of those new state of the art C.R.E auto-trucks. LOL🤣😂🤣!!!🚛

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

I refuse to go to that truck stop.

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

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

I blame the driver who’s parked in a NO PARKING ZONE!

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.

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!

Funny how many drivers come out of their truck when there is an accident at the truck stop, but no one when a guy is struggling to back his truck into a parking spot

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!

I didn't see one real truck in the lot, owner operates avoid places like that.

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

Those local trucks always act like the own the place parking in no parking zone. And then they get this LMAO.

They always park two wide there. And sometimes 3 wide. That spot or the fuel island is the only place to park once you get a weight. And if you get your weight and don't park there you have to get onto the road and pull back into the fuel island which usually does not work well since when you try to turn out at the light the left lane is backed up so if you make the turn you will blocking the intersection. This area needs a large 300+ parking area for truckers.

They wanted cheap labor and they got it.

Why the big flap ? It was just an ovloV. Disposable truck.

That St Augustine Pilot gets filled up by 2pm and I saw trucks parking in the lane when there were still open spots. They parked three trucks abreast in the driving lane.

Nice that you hung around to give the driver of the parked vehicle your details and offer to send him the video... ...oh...hang on... :-/

The driver was David Lenzi. Despite the fact he hit a stationary object, he felt butt-hurt because it just had to be someone else’s fault.

The law states, if you are parked in a no parking zone, you are at fault. This includes shoulder of the road, exit ramps, and any where marked NO Parking.

Guy parked in a No Parking deserves some education “Don’t Park in the Driveway” as for England watch your Trailer....Simple

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.

Woke up one morning to a tent selling fireworks set up close to my turning point, told the guy I was going to make my best effort to avoid any collisions, would he spot me. He did not help. I made it clear I would cut ropes and pull stakes if I had to. G.O.A.L., got out and looked several times, made it by an inch. I was so close to the tent I rubbed a rope with the bumper.
