non dot preventable incident help needed !

If you've worked hard to make a career why were you too lazy to get out and lok before backing up?
That said it 100% depends on the company if they report the property damage, and therefore money to fix, all because you didn't want to walk 100 feet.

 

Alot of times it depends on the amount of damage caused dollar wise. Companies can only hire you if their insurance agrees to cover you, so you may get rejected by a few, but should still be able to find gainful and good employment.

Just don't be taking out anymore vacuums and you should be good.

 

Something like this, it’s not gonna cost you your job, stop worrying about it! But it is important to remember you’re driving a large vehicle, and a very heavy vehicle! This type of accident is not going to have anything to do with your driving record, There is even a good chance the carrier will handle it as an internal incident. Please pay attention in the future.

 

As the other Moose said, your job is not in danger.

Maybe stick it out there for a few months and check your dac and other reports to see if anything is there?

 

what does "non dot preventable" mean?

The DOT shouldn't be involved.

 

If your record is clean so far and you don't have any company write-ups you'll probably just get chewed on a little. If they do fire you it might be a blessing in disguise.

 

I assume he was going for a kind of shorthand way of describing the accident. It was a non-DOT reportable, and it was preventable.
