    Mmm..Let's see...The clue word here is "Honesty"......my opinion is you should have told them right away. As a manager I want to know that I have an honest person operating my equipment.
    Think about the Liabilities.
    Think about the possibilities.
    Think about your Future if you are planning to stay in Trucking.

    Hopefully you got them to voluntarily sign a document reflecting that they will allow you to deduct those costs from their wage so you cover your butt legally. A lot of states require them to voluntarily sign a letter giving you permission to deduct their wage for loss, theft, or damage.
