Exactly, I don't know why people drive fancy trucks for work trucks. My cousin just bought a $20,000 chevy for construction.

Ditto. Work vehicles occasionally get scarred, that's why nobody wants to buy a fleet vehicle. I can understand not enjoying telling the boss you bent his truck, but it's not like you had a few beers for lunch and was backing it up at 30 mph and couldn't see the mirrors because some stripper named "Kandy" was giving you a lap dance in the middle of jockeying the trailer around, right? You had an accident doing what you were told. Happens all the time, just try not to do it again, but nobody can expect you to pay for it yourself.

I never backed up a trailer before, and didn't know if you turned to sharp you could do that. Also I tried turning around in a small area, and I know I could've been fine, but I was mainly watching the front end of the truck too cause I was getting close to hitting stuff with the front, and forgot about the trailer. If that stuff hadn't have been there I could've done just fine, and if the area would've been bigger I could've been fine. The work area is so small especially when you have a huge truck, and a big trailer. I think his bed is 6ft, but it is a double door cab. My truck has a 6ft bed, but it handles like a car. I bought my truck for $2300, and put $2,000 in it for inspection damn 1996 dodge ram, but it was an indy 500 pacer truck so it gets me to and from work fast.
