BAGGAGE CART MOVED BY JET BLAST HITS FUEL TRUCK.

Narrative

ACFT PUSHED BACK BY A TUG FROM GATE AT TAMPA INTL ARPT. L ENG WAS STARTED NORMALLY AND AFTER THE AGENT SALUTE AND A CLRNC TO TAXI TO RWY 18R; WE BEGAN OUR TAXI. BECAUSE OF THE DIRECTION THE TUG PARKED THE ACFT; WE HAD TO MAKE A R TURNOUT TO GET THE ACFT POINTED TO THE R. AFTER MAKING THE TURN; I NOTICED AN AGENT AT GATE CH GIVING SIGNALS TO AN ACFT AT A7 TXWY. I STOPPED MY ACFT AND CONFIRMED THAT WE HAD THE PROPER CLRNC AND THAT THE COMMUTER ACFT WAS GOING TO STOP. HE STOPPED AND WE CONTINUED OUR TAXI. I RECEIVED A CALL LATER THAT THE ENG EXHAUST BLAST FROM MY ACFT HAD CAUSED A BAGGAGE CART TO START ROLLING AND IT RAN INTO A FUEL TRUCK LOCATED (I ASSUME) AROUND GATE CD; CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK POSSIBLE AREAS TO LOOK AT FOR SOLUTIONS: BAGGAGE CARTS -- WHEN PARKED; MAKE SURE THE BRAKES ARE ALWAYS SET. CHK THE BRAKES OCCASIONALLY TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE WORKING PROPERLY. AGENT PUSHING THE ACFT BACK -- THIS PERSON SHOULD BE AWARE OF WHERE THE ACFT IS PARKED; WHAT DIRECTION THE ACFT HAS TO TURN OUT; AND WHAT WILL BE BEHIND THAT ACFT AS HE STARTS HIS TAXI AND TURNOUT. THE PUSHBACK POINT COULD BE VARIED DEPENDING ON ACTIVITIES TAKING PLACE AT THAT TIME AT SURROUNDING GATES. CAPT -- I COULD COM WITH THE AGENT PUSHING THE ACFT A LITTLE BETTER. BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE BEHIND ME; I COULD USE THE AGENT AS MY EYES TO GIVE ME A CLUE AS TO POSSIBLE PROBS IN THE INITIAL TAXI-OUT.
