Quality Carriers tanker #702685 Hits parked truck in Hucks/FJ truckstop, Mt. Vernon, IL 3-28-15

In over 30 years of driving a truck, I've been hit many times by other trucks, while parked in truck stops. Too often the other driver will take off if he thinks he has not been seen. Often it happens when a truck is trying to back into a parking space next to you. In this situation, it's daylight, the parked truck is not exactly sitting in an official parking space, but there is plenty of room to get around it.
Watch as the Quality Carried tanker hits the trailer of the parked truck as it attempts to drive around it. The Driver of the truck did not get out of the truck to check on the damage to the other truck, or to try to contact the driver of that truck.
The tanker driver drove off to a back row of the truck stop, parked, then walked back to the truck he hit to look at the damage, and pick up a piece of his trailer fender that fell off in the accident. He took this piece of fender back to his parked truck, and placed it on the ground next to the damage he did to his trailer. (Two destroyed rims and tires, and a fender.)
Again, he never attempted to contact the driver of the parked truck he hit, who turned out to be in the cab, sleeping.
I was busy trying to find the dashcam video of the truck. I had video, as well as witnessing this mess.
A second driver who witnessed the accident, knocked on the door of the parked truck, waking the driver up.
(How he slept through that jolt, I don't know, but he claims he thought it was a nightmare.)
I don't remember if the driver of the tanker then wandered up, or if they walked over to where he was parked. The tanker driver did appear at the back of the trailer to look at the damage, and had some discussion with the driver of the parked truck.
The tanker driver was not going anywhere, due to two flat tires, which must have hit the edge of the DOT bumper on the parked Van trailer.
Making a mistake is kind of normal. This, of course is not excusable. It appears the tanker driver had no intention of checking with the driver of the parked truck he hit. This sucks.
With more dashcams in trucks, the chances JERKS like this are more likely to get caught.
