    It will count as an accident or incident. Probably fall under the hit a fixed object category. If no claim was filed you probably wouldn't have had any issue. But nothing too big that will keep you from future employment. Just make sure if prime charges you with an incident you put it down on future applications.

    Also you have to report it to safety or they will fire you saying you didn't report the incident. So Call safety and make sure you have your tail covered.

    Since when do we call tire marks on the dirt an incident? What was that guys problem reporting it anyway? Was it soft you sink in pretty good or what? I don't get it.

    So it does count as an accident? For example some companies post "no more than one accident an 1 ticket" does that count as the one accident?
