Over 24hrs later, no word from anyone from the company. To the one's saying contact my safety dept, I'm simply too afraid. I did everything you're not supposed to do when a "potential" accident occurs, I'm sure they'd fire me just for my own stupidity.
My question now is.. can I change my DL#/Request a new one and prevent this unknown driver from possibly stealing my identity?Trucker61016 and NavigatorWife Thank this. -
Do you really want to be in the process of changing your driver's license over when you get fired after the wreck hits the insurance company?
Because, thanks to you not reporting it, the company has no way to dispute it now.God prefers Diesels Thanks this. -
I’d forget about it. It will probably never come up. He doesn’t have a leg to stand on. As far as him having a copy of your D/L, he must have reached into your Truck and taken a picture of it. An obvious scam artist. Maybe you should start keeping your License in a safer place. Fight fire with Fire.

with that, take a lot of pictures, of the damage, of their truck, of everything,
second is what is at risk is your personal info. While the dl doesn’t give them access to any other info directly, the info on the license can be used to find out a lot more.
those who tell you not to worry never went through identity thief, kind of obvious.
again for you and others don’t give out that info, get a cop involved and if they feel there is a need, they can make the call.slow.rider Thanks this. -

When you stick your head out the window to start backing, give a squint-and-smirk type look at your setup, then spin your head around to the right for a split sec with that same look, like "######, I could've done that a whole lot better," and then start backing. Not only does it give you some psychological cover in case your backing attempt really does suck, but those manipulative types are watching people's demeanors as they arrive, looking for cues that indicate some sort of naivete. Give them the opposite and they'll disregard you and wait for the next new arrival instead.Last edited: Apr 8, 2021
