    Then figure out how to sue your old company for the money they stole from you

    I'd like to know what this "scratched a trailer (because GOAT" means. And whether the scratch was a minor "cosmetic" thing or a major gash, the fact remains that you did HIT something. You hit something that belongs to someone else and you act like he should have just let it go because it is just "cosmetic". There is no excuse to hit another trailer. You Get Out And Look as many times as you have.
    If your first accident was not your fault why did you pay for it. Something here doesn't pass the smell test.

    I bumped into a trailer and left a scratch I went ahead and left in hopes they don't notice it when they get back to the truck. Screenshot_20200212-123701.png

    Looks like that trailer was rear ended by another truck.

    That's in the rail. I would not fix it.

    However, like what has been said before, find another job before you get deducted for a rail replacement.

    I took this picture when 2 drivers in my company collided at a loading dock.
    His trailer looks somewhat similar except all rivets are intact and I sliced a longer piece.
