Chosen One Movers is now Minus One Movers, Just kidding! I’ve gone to drive through in my box truck too, Well almost, Bound to hit something yellow overhead at the speaker menu. I know of a gut who left his dump truck raised and hit an overpass, Now That is a bad Day!
I have a tall Nissen Envy van. First thing I did when I bought it was look in the book to see how tall it was. 9′, 2″. I pay attention to how tall places are, and bridges and so forth. When you drive something that is tall, you should know your height limit. I hope he enjoyed his meal. I feel for’em.
Seen it all over, folks driving campers and motor homes, trucks like the one here and the Ever Famous 17th Avenue Trestle in Pensacola known for shearing roofs off trucks like an opened sardine can.
Sorry for driver, hope the boss can forgive as the Good Book directs.
Through comparison of both pictures it appears the driver was able to move the truck without causing any further damage to the side of the truck. There is a sign posted clearly that says “low overhang” in plain view in the picture. There appears to be two employees in blue shirts standing outside the truck with one looking at the damage and the other leaning on a fence thing on his phone, presumably trying to get ahold of the boss to inform him or her of the incident.
A few questions to be asked:
1. Was there any cargo inside the truck?
2. Was that cargo damaged?
3. If the cargo was damaged, will the moving company cover the damaged cargo due to it clearly being the companies fault for this accident.
Also, is it standard for moving companies to cover all damages incurred during an accident wether the companies fault or not?
I can already see a nightmarish scenario where a customer’s cargo (presumably living items) is damaged during an accident and the moving company does not admit fault and refuses to replace all damaged items and the customer is left without living items. Can someone please explain this process and how it works. I understand that even if the company is “licensed and insured” there are loopholes that can leave a customer Hoodwinked.
Someone please update and advise, as I am looking for a moving company.
