Delivery Truck Made A Mistake ..

[blueriver]

So my wife orders a new bed ... says we wore the old one out !!:thumbsup:

It got delivered today and when the delivery guy in a Penske Rental Box Truck ... ya know one of those 24' jobs ... pulls up the first thing he says is ... I made a mistake and bumped into your gate... I asked him how bad and he says I cracked the post !!

Anyway bed's nice.

At least he owned up to it. I think most would have not said anything, depending on how far your front gate is from your house.

If that's what he calls a crack, hate to see something he actually broke. :laughing: At least he fessed up, maybe you can get his company to help pay for repair. At least cost of new lumber.

Its far enough that you can not see it from the house ... he was honorable.

Well I asked for that info and maybe he was pulling my leg ... he said yes go ahead and call them, it will be taken out of my check so much a week. I just told him stuff happens and we won't worry about it.

Sounds like it's not the first post he cracked... since he knows the routine.

I can see that happening. Funiture company doesn't insurance or doesn't want to use it to keep rates from going up so they hold their minimum wage help acountable. I'd let him off the hook too since he told you about it, that is providing he bolted the bed together solid so it doesn't collapse when you are "breaking it in" :thumbsup::laughing:

Just think the insurance company will sue you for building an obstruction in the drive way:laughing:

Have him come out and help you fix it, and you wont tell his boss...

Trucking companies usually have a deductible on their liability policies unlike with personal auto policies.

The trucking co would pay the deductible amount before their insurance kicks in.

If the claim s below a certain amount the trucking o may even handle the entire claim and just bill the insurance carrier for their amount.
