    The police told me to stay by my truck. I didn’t even think I hit her at first cause she was still behind me. Both officers said it was just tire marks on the front Bender and mirror was all they could see. Safety told me i did the right thing by staying away.

    You take pictures to tell your side of the story. She may have hit you, but now you will never know.

    Mr @Ridgeline, if this was your driver, would you want pictures?

    Plenty of companies will still hire you.
    Where is your location and what type trucking do you prefer?
    Which company are you with now?

    Yes should of got pictures. Tell police you have a right to get pictures, or take your phone and make them get some, see how that goes! Probably would have walked you over get them.
    Like others said marks may have already been there and she just wants it fixed for free, plus some.
    Never know now though.

    Of course I would.

    I am confused a bit, doesn’t drivers get accident kits with a camera or at lease a check list to go through to protect themselves?
