    I woul'nt tell the company a thing if there is no obvious damage to truck. The less they know the better. stop sign,fence what not, no proprietor yelling at you or smokey pulling you over,pull a dukes of hazards and get the hell out of there! Loose lips sink ships. Out of sight out of mind.

    Lol, since when is clipping a curb considered an accident? Sure, it's a "whoops", like clanking a gear or bumping a dock too hard, but I can't believe they actually used that as a serious strike against you to get you canned. They must not be too hard up for people if they're cutting you loose for rolling over a curb or having some dock door incident. That said, you must be careful how you drive and also what you tell people. Don't give anybody too much ammunition to shoot you with unless it's absolutely necessary. Use your judgement and common sense from now on If some minor "something" happens out there. Capiche?
