    So you were looking where you were going and not where you had been. Does that make any sense?

    Any witnesses?
    If no witnesses, it didn't happen.

    No, no dont try to hide it. If your truthful prime will only cut off one finger. Seriously though dont hide it you damaged property. If you dont report it in the morning and prime gets notified and gets sent a copy of footage from some camera you didnt see or a statement from an eyewitness you didnt notice, youll be screwed. I say notify in the morning because im guessing you have already left the accident if you havent left then call night dispatch right now. Relax prime understands that these things are big and things happen, dont let things happen too much tho. Learn from it and good luck.

    That sucks OP, Crap happens. 2 or 70mph. Still a preventable. Early in your career, Now you know not to hit fences. Should of ran it over again, making sure the fence was DRT and others would spend quality time on it.

    I have to admit. Prime has nice looking units. Good luck in the future OP. It's just a fence.not a kid. Lesson learned. next year will laugh about it.

    Doesn't make sense...title says u knocked down the fence, but then u said in message only took out a pole...a few questions....how do u know you were going 2 mph, at that speed, if you were going 2 mph only would have scratched it whole post wouldn't have fallen down unless you completely run over it. Was it the whole fence or just a post. If u did hit it going 2 mph and hit it and fell down then post wasn't in ground good enough, would that then be your fault if fence not properly secured???

    OP still hit a fixed object, It's his fault 100%
    OP confessed, Live and learn. Crap happens and still will be able to find employment. not career suicide. It's actually funny story he can tell in the future years.

    Monday Morning Quarterbacking is never good with out video, OP hit something, Live and learn. We weren't their.

    Blaming others is career suicide.

    Still a rookie like you are. I agree 100%. It's 2014 and cameras are everywhere. Double edged sword. Not tell anyone, can easily come back to haunt. Tell everyone and their momma has the same consequences.

    Either way, OP can be still employed. Life lesson, don't hit crap. It's still a funny story in future years.
