Stupid camera in the truck got me for running over a curb. They counted it as a preventable accident. What a joke.
What has trucking come to where companies count running over a curb as a accident? The curb and the truck are fine.
I didn't know running over a curb counts as a preventable accident

Many people have no choice but to put these trucks in places they have no business being in on the daily. Engineers don’t allow for trucks in their designs even tho trucks will frequently have to travel threw the area.
This applies to both private property & public roads. Look at ltl & food service trucks, trash & septic trucks, equipment haulers/ construction trucks.
heck i remember delivering copy paper to schools threw out western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio, my goodness the tiny little back woods roads i’d have to drag that 53’ reefer up. Come to intersections where i need to turn left but can’t so i’d have to make the right & back down the street to get to the school.njjonesdfw, Zangief, 4wayflashers and 17 others Thank this. -
If you were driving a single axle day cab and pulling a pup trailer, you might not be considered a professional in a company with stuck up a hole drivers. If hitting a curb is an accident then there wouldn't be a single million mile safe driver on the road. I'd say find a better company.

he claims no injury to the tire....does he really know for a fact he did not break a belt?
if the camera or other recording device "caught him", then it must be in the company rules/by-laws, whatever, how this curbing is to be classified.
he knew the rules, he had to have signed a gazillion papers when he got hired.
