Scuffed a trailer on my offside with the corner of my trailer, went in at too tight an angle and scraped the side of the trailer beside me.
Not any major damage just a little rip in the curtain.
Has anyone hit another trailer while reversing, even if it was only a small scrape?
Yes, when I first passed my test … in 2005 … I worked for a company via agency (lynx) had 2 accidents … first , as I pulled off the dock, I knocked a trailer turning to early literally 2 mph no damage … a few weeks later … I was in Hemel Hempstead … got out forgot the handbrake and rolled into the shutter door didn’t cause to much damage … thankfully the forklift driver pushed it out and I was told they all hit it lol … reported both… and ended up there on agency for a while a odd day here and there… driving a 7.5t as an 18 year old … a company in leyton call James Latham … I had a car come up the inside… Didn’t see him and he hit me as the road goes from 2 to 1 on the A406 in hanger lane … had a car try to merger into the lane … ( can use all 3 lanes in NSW) it was either go into the central res or drive straight … so I hit her … (all on dashcam … and she was drunk … I had my worse as a bus driver , a truck decided to take out the front offside of my bus whilst I was sat at a bus stop picking up passengers …
Nope.
No one, has ever hit anything, in the history of lorry driving.
You must be the first!

Got to agree, in all my years driving lorries I have NEVER seen anyone hit something going backwards. It just doesnt happened.
Hitting things going forward is easier, try that before jumping straight into hitting things in reverse, some people. 
Hitting the buffers a bit on the hard side - not realizing that they were sticking out from the bay by about three feet! 
Spilled some bags of peat off the pallet nearest the rear, that fell down the gap between open-barn doored trailer and loading bay… 
Not as bad as these chumps struggling to unload properly, mind… (Trucking Fails of the year)
…and saving the best 'til last…
i reversed my nearside trailer wheels into a ditch in the dark once, couldn’t get it back out, ended up at an obscene angle craning the packs of bricks off nearside first and dropping them off on the offside, bit of an arse twitcher but got away with it

I won’t tell on myself but last night/this morning at Northampton services I witnessed a BG truck from Jan de Rijk reverse for no explainable reason (straight reverse perpendicular to the parked trucks cabs) and took the brand new front car from a car transporter…Unfortunately my 45 was up and I preferred to drive on back home instead of watching on but he made a proper mess by the sound of it (I was on the opposite side- he was between me and the transporter. In hindsight I feel a bit guilty because even though I couldn’t see 100% it did seem to me that his trailer was way too close as he started reversing…then I heard the bang/clang/screech)

That’s what I thought, never heard of any problems/accidents from reversing a trailer [emoji38]

In answer to the original question only if they didn’t hear the reversing bleeping,see the bright white reversing lights and get the kcuf out of the way 
Years ago managed to leave a post box at a 45 degree angle to the pavement whilst trying to turn round.

And definitely not a brand new (as in still in the car dealer) 60k Lexus
Never
Of course.
Probably on three days out of every five if I’m being honest. I’m getting too stiff in the shoulders to turn round head out the window, so keep her gently chappin till I feel a wee bump. Quickly pull ahead a couple of feet, then surreptitiously check to see if anybody saw me. Jobs a good one, time for tea.
