I should think that we are a great deal more fun to discuss it with than management would be.

So that you don't repeat the same mistake twice? Some of us are slow learners, myself included.

I certainly appreciate a "heads-up" when somebody has experienced a problem. I might want to know about it in order to avoid the same problem myself.

egregoreOK, I understand you don't like somebody else to cause damage, but ... it's a truck. The bed and wheel wells are eventually going to get scratched and dinged up if you carry anything in it, which is what we normally buy trucks for.

Which is precisely why I didn't pitch a fit. The truck is 5 years old and has been used as a truck the whole time. Dings, dents and scratches are part of the job.
There's a difference between an accident and carelessness tho.

That is some twisted logic.
Just because a vehicle happens to be able to carry cargo (e.g.$40,000+ truck) doesn't mean its okay for an incompetent forklift driver to punch holes in the tail lights of the vehicle they are loading.
I (and many, if not most others) have managed to haul cargo without trashing a vehicle for 20+ years.
Your statement would be the equivalent of saying that a warehouse forklift driver putting the forks through the side of a semi van trailer is standard operating procedure......

shiftyvtecI was picking up some Steel for a workbench build in a brand new $15k cargo trailer I had just picked up from the dealer. I told the loaders to be careful loading as the trailer was new. The response I got from one of the loaders... "it's a trailer, it's going to get beat up anyway" what a douche.
Reminds me of the current Chevy commercials. “yep, just another chapter in the story", the response to a hole in the tailgate. "Yep, just another $1500 off the value of a truck I still owe on" is more like it.
I really don't get this attitude.
