Accidents on private property?

If there are no witnesses; it didn't happen.
Never snitch on yourself.
Not all companies use DAC.

 

I was waiting for a door at a warehouse. A Swift driver pulled past me and did a U-turn in the parking lot.
The trailer hooked into a chain link fence and he pulled about 30 ft. or so into the parking lot. He panicked and said what should I do? I said I'm the only other truck in this area of the lot and I didn't see anything, so get in your truck and hit the road. He did just that. Later the warehouse manager saw the damage and asked me if I did it. I said 'no' it was like that when I got here. Feel free to look over my truck if you want.

 

Was at another place in the wee hours and waiting for the place to open so I could back into the dock.
Again, a Swift driver. He walked over to my truck and ask for directions to the interstate. I gave him directions. He did a sharp U-turn and his trailer rode up on the back of a car and crushed the trunk lid and the back window exploded. He panicked and said, I'll be fired for sure. I said, fired for what? He said I hit that car. I said, what car? Leave and hit the interstate before anyone shows up. That's what he did. Again I said, the car was damaged when I got here. Look over my truck if you want.

 

Most big companies plan for new drivers to hit stuff is what I've read here. I guess I it depends on your attitude and if you are a good worker for them on how they handle it.

 

Good advice because now a days NO ONE has security cameras or dash cams.

You do damage, get out and look at it and then drive away guess what? Hit and run is jail time.

You want to risk the rest of your life having a record because you scratched a car and tried to run away from it?

Your license, your choice. Yard dings happen, companies know that and its part of doing business. Hit and runs dont.

 

The first company I worked for was self-insured. Their policy was if you bumped into something in a situation like the original poster described above and you paid for it, they would not put it on your record they would even let you make payments on it. I was never in that situation as I’ve still never damaged anything. However, some other drivers were and they claimed that the company would take advantage of it. Overcharging them. Now if the police got involved it would be out of their hands.

 

This!
Trust me the cameras are rolling and they most times have multiple views!

Back when I did my office time between security and training Someone was watching the accident live and watching you drive away as we called the company contact and police to report it. Hit and Run is not a solution to your problem it’s just the beginning of it!

 

So basically your saying personal integrity is not important. If it’s your truck that gets hit, and they’re are no witnesses, and the POS just drives off, I think you will have a different view.
