So the company is saying this is a preventable accident. Backing into a dock and the asphalt collapsed causing the truck to go off into the dirt.
dirt isn’t the customers property so they don’t care.
Property owner responded to customer’s supervisor calling them. They’re not worried about it. Company is treating it as an accident not incident and possibly putting it on DAC.
would you consider this preventable? I do not.
Punishment is no safety bonus and being de-rated to 62mph.
Preventable accident?

Property owner and customer supervisor are in cahoots and probably do that at least once or twice a week.
I have seen that before. -
Who went down in the grass if it was you , why?
Magoo1968 and Wasted Thyme Thank this. -
At least that's the way it looks from the picture.Magoo1968, Last Call, Wasted Thyme and 1 other person Thank this. -
If it was a drainage grate that collapsed would it be preventable? Keeping in mind that said grate is supposed to be something you can drive over, just like asphalt.
or if a dump truck is backing up into a location and the concrete slab was poured over a septic tank (against common sense but contractors do it) so the slab collapses and sinks the truck. Is that preventable? -

Wasted Thyme and buddyd157 Thank this.

Using your logic if I’m sitting at a dock and the truck falls through the asphalt it’s the drivers fault. -
The asphalt that remained intact looks pretty ####ty. I'd have kept back a few feet. Same with the shoulder on a road. They've been known to collapse.

Piss on them. Pretty much every where I deliver is a #### hole. There’s on place in particular I go to that that the numb nut front end loader is a moron.
He leaves his appointments laying all over. I used to would get out and move them. NO MORE!
So far I’ve snapped 2 of his shovel handles in half and parked on top of his hose twice.
Piss on him. Now, if there’s anything in my way (and it won’t damage my truck), I run over it. Stupid SOB doesn’t have sense enough to move his crap, he can lose it.tarmadilo, Mototom, kemosabi49 and 3 others Thank this.
