Did you, or will you, go back to where this occurred, and look for and photograph parking spot, to show little plastic pieces.
This will seal the deal for you if there are none, and if there are,
You gotta fess up, it was an accident. Let us know. Luck.
How bad is this?

You're being scammed. There are a few drivers that never repair a broken mirror because it's a money maker. One owner-operator was making $300 several times a week doing that, until he was caught.

Police was called but no police report was made by officer , he said he wasn’t obligated . I reported this to my boss , he said no big deal , so I ain’t worried about getting fired . It’s just isn’t fair being blamed with no actual proof . If everything goes his way , what will happen to my cdl ???

second, you need to whip out your camera ASAP when someone tells you, that you hit them, and take LOTS of pictures of the truck, the area, the ground. in your pictures, (after the fact) i saw no debris on the ground.
now it IS possible, that other truck, belongs to that driver or his company, and most likely parks at the docks overnight. i know MY company and my former co-workers did just that. otherwise, had he been sleeping in his truck, and you hit him, he would have gotten out real quick to stop you.
i'd like to say too, that since the mirror was already taped, that mirror was previously damaged. your pictures prove that, unless while you were calling your company, or doing some accident report form, is when he taped the mirror, and cleaned the area.
maybe in the future, when you park at a loading dock overnight, take pics of the area, and any trucks adjacent to where you will be as proof BEFORE hand of any damages.firemedic2816 Thanks this. -
