It takes quite a big hit to a van for the driver to notice that it's not just the usual noises. A small pothole in a empty van can be heard so unless the noise of the hit as exceptionally loud it's quite probable that they wouldn't notice. Van/truck drivers often have to rely on their mirrors as they are so apart from the van, you can't trust what you feel.
