    No.Ive hit something but filed a report so someone else wouldn't get the blame.This was 35 years ago.Long before cameras.Honesty goes a long ways.

    How long would it take to hear from the shipper if they saw me on camera and decide to go after me?

    That depends on how observant their security is.I witnessed a guy in cannonsburg My hit a yellow concrete barrier then nudged a dumpster and kept rolling.They nailed him inside of 24 hours.

    If a week goes by and nothing happens, should I still worry or forget about it? I thought about telling them but I didn’t want them to blame me for every single dent on that wall

    Yeah I didn’t want them to blame me for every dent that was already on that wall. If I don’t hear anything within a week should I forget about it or would they come after me a couple months later? I don’t know how much they care about those metal wall panels because they had dents all over the place
