    Does my employer have to provide me with an accident report? I turned a corner to sharp and hit a fence post.

    Probably not but, wherever it happened and what jurisdiction took the report is where you would get it from.

    What @nikmirbre said. Call or email the cops where this accident happened & request the report. It may cost you some fee. Keep it until you retire from trucking.

    were the cops even called?

    I had a driver rip out 20 feet of fence at my yard and the cops wouldn't even come out to make a report even through the fence was on public property and installed by the county.

  6. Sponsored - Featured Review
    K&B is a good company if your wanting OTR. I have been here for 4 year and with my raise in May will have seen 13 cents in pay raises since I started here.
    Pros
    They seem to always stay very competitive on pay, the guarantee is very nice and something that isn't required much, maybe 5 times a year but it is always paid. Also like the midwest lanes.
    Cons
    I am not crazy about the new autoshift. I prefer manuals. The rest of the cons are just standard negatives that go with being a truck driver, lack of parking, respect, over regulations, etc.

    Doubtful, if the police were there and made a report, you can get their report from them... The company's accident report is theirs and mainly for documentation, insurance and training

    Are you objecting to the amount of money the company is deducting from your paycheck? Are you looking for the estimate of damages you incurred?

    Legally they cannot do the first, but the second should always be a part of the process... the narrative of "I didn't do much damage" would hopefully go away
