Fired for one accident?

Dang, I did it again. Clicked on thread someone responded to that is from 12 years ago!

 

Senior moment?

 

It's only 11.5 years if it makes U feel better

 

TELL NO ONE WHAT HAPPENED IF POSSIBLE. If there are no witnesses, keep it under your hat. No damage. No problem. As long as you weren't being reckless or careless, I don't believe you should be fired.

Now, if you tear the front end off of another tractor, yes, you should pay the price. I saw this owner operator have his nice truck just scraped to heck by a Western Express driver who may or may not have noticed what he did to that truck. Obviously, this is a criminal act.

What I mean are little scrapes and dents. These big carriers can afford to pay for that stuff. But instead they choose to fire the driver. Probably due to insurance stipulations, but I still don't care. A better teacher would be to have the driver pay for damages through payroll deductions over time. But that's just too simple.

 

You guys replying to this post do realize it's almost 13 years old right?

 

While the thread is indeed aged, a new question has arisen from its dormant bosom.

 

Don't worry about it. In the future watch for that backswing.

 

Thank you so much do you think I will get fired?

 

Thanks

 

There were witness..I took pics they took pics of the old raggedy plastic fence!
