    This month, I accidentally hit a car while turning in a shopping mall. The repair cost was about 4,500. It was my fault. The insurance has started a claim. There was no police and no ticket. What impact will this accident have on my desire to enter the trucking industry? Other than that I have no other questions, thank you all

    Was the point of impact on private property or public roadway?

    None. Don't worry about it, and don't talk about it. It never happened.

    I'm not sure, maybe it's not a public road? It is the internal road of the shopping mall.

    If he got a vehicular homicide ticket (sarcasm), other wise nope. No police report, it is all between insurance companies.

    I just feel that if the insurance price increases, the company will not need me.

    With all of the above said -- henceforth -- to get into trucking & have a worthwhile future there -- you will need to be A LOT MORE CAREFUL. o_O
