This is not a recordable or reportable or whichever other way you like to say it.
Reportable accidents refer to DOT. No tow truck was called, no outside party even involved, no injuries. No legal record of this whatsoever.
The only thing that's gonna be on your DAC if anything will be marked as an incident not an accident and swift will probably mark it as "during training" too.
By the way it's good to see another young gun out driving - just be ready to laugh when you go check in at the shipping office and they automatically tell you the warehouse workers have to use the employee entrance lol

When I was a trainer at Stevens years ago, one of my trainees did something very similar to the OP. We went to WalMart the next day and bought some Bondo, one of those buffer block thingies, and some touch-up paint. We each paid half and after an hour of work in the parking lot, no one at the safety dept ever had to find out.alghazi, Diesel Dave and CasanovaCruiser Thank this.

That's the real training right there! LolDiesel Dave Thanks this.

This is how it should be handled.

The one and only good thing I'll say about Averitt is the training. The entire 5 weeks my trainer was riding shotgun. The only time we ran team was when my father in law passed and I needed to be home from Jersey quick.
After the 5 weeks was a 120 mile driving test for a delivery. When that is passed you still have a week of backing school. -
Bumper is an assembly, doesn't come from FL in pieces separately, although it must be assembled.
Doesn't cost 2 grand, either, lease company gets them for less than half that.
Going forward is easier, backing not so much. Some of these places are trying, and I get there often.
Moesle Wholesaling off 47th is a good example, so is Charles Austin off South Canal. Jewell Evanston is legendary, the stuff of nightmares. Construction can make the mundane, head scratching lyrics difficult.
Stuff happens, even with experience, and I deliver where the bypass costs tolls and miles and time, there is no good way from Harvey to Evanston that doesn't involve the 57 and 94 routes. -
I bought jus the end section from freightliner in springfield mo for my 2016 cascadia cost me 120 bucks , drilling all the rivets and putting it back together was a pia though25(2)+2 Thanks this.

Never get to Springfield, the shop told me the only way to get individual pieces was off a removed one, the wings weren't available through FL separately.
I could ask again, but lease trucks don't belong to either the company or the drivers.
