Hit two poles. Didn't report it

Lie,denie, and stick to it. A cop friend told me that. Your word against their word. But if you went to the back of your trailer to see what you hit, your goose could be cooked if its on video

 

Don't worry about it; no big deal. Some people spend their life confessing and snitching on themselves because they seem to love punishment. It's like they have some perverse phychological mental health problem and feel the need for continuous atonement for stupid things or perceived wrongs that are important to no one except them. A simple something like that can cause lots of problems if you make an enemy at the company; they put it on your DAC report as a preventable accident then that can keep you from a better job in the future.

 

He didn't hit anything; he was double checking to ensure the trailer doors were properly closed and secured......how's that!
If he was observant, he probably noticed those red poles were uprooted already when he first arrived.

 

What's this "we" stuff; do you have a mouse in your pocket?

 

You, Sir, have just won the internet!!!

 

I brought my European girlfriend to my parents store, but my parents don't accept Czechs.
I'll let myself out........

 

Nothing but quality drivers these days...

 

You can bet someone saw it or will see it. Especially these days.

You might even hear about it and be docked in pay the value of that stuff you tore out of the ground. Or even dismissed for cause. (PReventable damage...) Or get yelled at a little bit.

I once destroyed some curbing. Green uncured curbs about 15 feet worth after telling the crew boss that trailer taint gonna make that turn without wrecking that curb.

About 30 minutes of me being stubborn and saying NO, the boss started saying stuff like sending my whole roofing shingle load back to shipper. I was about to take him up on it. Dispatch says make the #### turn you wussy. (From about 1000 miles away to boot....)

Made the turn, CRUNCH. More yelling. I simply said "I told you so." and that was that.

But that was not that. Three employers over 4 years asked questions about that particular 600 dollars in damage more than anything else during that time period. It was sensational to them....

 

I've fired guys for less and kept guys that wrecked more. You want to know the difference? The latter were honest and up-front with me. Mistakes happen, but the SHTF with me when there is a cover-up or lies.

One of the things a good employer will do is work with employees to help them get better at their jobs. I recognize not all employers are this way and that is why I would never stay at one. The flip side of that coin is that employees need to take (re)training to heart and endeavour to do their best too.

 

Bouncing Czechs is a crime.
