    I really wouldn`t worry about it. I have seen many buildings hit, and drivers not got in any trouble. Offering to pay for it, is never a good idea. But this is minor. You should still be O.K.

    If your truck says Werner on it, they pretty much expect it. Dont worry.

    No damage on the truck or trailer, the total fixing for the fence should be under 40 dollars

    Its good you took pictures, it sucks the manager is a &!€{ call safety anytime, no matter how minor, right away. CYA as much as possible. And GOAL next (and every) time.

    This makes me wonder - damage to the fence would not necessarily damage the truck. What if the manager claimed that you were the one that damaged the fence when in reality another driver backed into it last week? How would you defend against that?
