Hit two poles. Didn't report it

@scottied67 , you're slacking. You should have been there to record it! And now you're here telling the OP to drag the poles down the road and abandon them in a ditch like last night's lot lizard. Which shall ruin the poor fellow on the John Deere mower's day. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!! Wth happened to you??? Lol

 

To the OP, you'll learn something from this. When you figured it out let us know.

 

Call BS all you want, I'm not impressed with your Starbucks and cricket store deliveries. I've pulled 15 stop furniture loads plenty of times to rent a centers, and small mom and pop places. Been there done that. Lift gates? Must be nice. Keep on telling yourself you've never hit anything though. No claims for damage can also mean it wasn't caught in time. Replacing trailer tires and forgetting to mention it to your boss? Yeah, we all spend money on trailer tires out of the goodness of our hearts.

 

This one time in band camp,....
ROFLMAO!!!!

 

I backed into a sign at a barbecue restaurant in Missouri one time and I called my safety department and told them what happened right away and I ended up paying for the damage out of pocket. I've always felt that honesty is the best policy

 

When the first double stack container trains came to Elizabeth K-Line set up a yard outside the port until the clearance problems could be overcome inside the port. As part of getting permission to build the rail yard they installed huge concrete filled pipes on the inside of two tight corners.

I'm talking at least 12" thick steel that rose up above the ground a good 5 feet...

the pier drivers had them flat in two days.....

 

What some if you aren't getting, apparently, is the fact that in many companies, failing to report it right away can be a suspendable or even firing offense.
So the company calls the carrier and says, "We have (someone who witnessed your driver/we have video of) your driver hitting these posts and pushing them over."
Do you think it will go over well when the carrier calls the driver and asks him about what they were told? That driver's options are to lie and potentially get disproved, subsequently facing discipline, or fess up and still face discipline. That and potentially getting a black mark on perhaps an otherwise clean record, or another in a long series, potentially damaging or shortening a career.
Or, the driver can report it immediately, and if he works for a decent company, get a slap on the wrist, maybe fill out some paperwork, watch a boring training video, and live to work another day. No real harm done.
I'm not claiming sainthood, but I've seen too much of both scenarios with coworkers and other drivers I used to run into in my old stomping grounds.
In fact, years ago I had a couple run-on with mailboxes. I reported both right away. One was one of this big, expensive high security jobs in an industrial park. Both were reported as preventable. And I'm still here all these years later.

 

Wait till ya back into a tight dock and rip yer shiney new west coast bumper off the front of the Petercar on a short pole... I mean, not sayin that ever happened to me or anything like that...

 

WOW!
I have some Midol
Sounds like you need it

Does it really bother you that bad that a woman has had a long career as a driver and not spent it knocking things over and damaging equipment?
It's really not a blow to your manhood or ego
Must be a small dick thing

 

If I ever hit antythng I will walk inside to the office and use the restroom, that way all the other drivers will think I reported it to them and not snitch on me.
