    Depends on what company you work for and whether or not they even use DAC.

    Ran over a post....a sign post? Light post? If the cops were called, or you made out an incident report, then I am pretty sure its gonna count against you. As far as going on your DAC, I think that will depend on your company.

    If you run for a small company I doubt they report to DAC. Take it slow and look next time. Best of luck.

    That is for your help. No cops. Just a high curb.

    This is considered a preventable accident and im pretty sure it will go on your DAC, hit a stationary object and your next company will probably ask u what happened.

    With a big company it will most likely go on the DAC , smaller outfits probsbly not , but they will probably hit your wallet or safety bonus for the damage. That's what's so cool about the little guys, they themselves know what can happen out here whereas a mega carrier is clueless
