Hit 500 cars moved without a single door ding, still can't believe it

Been hauling for a local dealer out of Tulsa for about 4 years now. Last week I loaded my 500th vehicle, a 2022 Camry, and it got me thinking about how many things could have gone wrong. I keep a log of every pickup and drop off, mostly for tax stuff, but scrolling back I realized I never once had a claim for paint damage or a dent. Not saying I'm perfect, I've had a tie-down snap once on I-35 and a ramp slip in the rain, but the door ding thing surprised me. Maybe it's because I always check the gap on the side mirrors and use the foam blocks between cars. Has anyone else hit a milestone like this and found their luck was better than they thought? Or am I just overdue for a bad one?

Man that's wild, congrats on the clean streak. I've moved maybe 40 cars total in my life and already chipped a mirror on a garage frame, so you're basically a wizard in my book. The foam block trick is smart, I always forget those and end up using old floor mats like a caveman. Honestly the door ding thing sounds like pure luck mixed with good habits, but the universe loves a good joke so stay humble. I'd say you're not overdue, just extra careful, but I also jinxed myself saying that about my own truck and got a shopping cart dent the next week.
