Yes I hit a nice new reefer at the Kroger dairy plant in Indianapolis .
Yes I Fricked up the back corner of my tanker real Nice.
Yes no one saw me do it.
Yes I called the head of safety at 3:30 am and told him what happened.
Yes he told me to take a bunch of pics and find the head Of Security and have them fill out a report.
Yes I got dragged into safety when I got back to the yard 4 days later and had to write a report.
Yes it was an expensive fix for the self insured company I worked for.

Let's see.
Don't report it and get caught means your fired.
Report it and you have a minor wreck on your record. As long as you don't keep hitting stuff you'll be fine.
To me it's not even a question.Albertaflatbed, Maverick Griff, bentstrider83 and 4 others Thank this. -

Same answer. Like tommy said. Integrity matters.
Plus with cameras everywhere were you really not seen doing it?Albertaflatbed, wis bang, Bean Jr. and 2 others Thank this. -
I know what you mean. The forklift driver saw me but he didn’t care, it was a metal wall panel that was already dented everywhere, so that’s why I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to pay for damage that was already there, I didn’t see any damage from my trailer. The metal wall said reserved parking on it for people waiting for a dockAlbertaflatbed Thanks this.

I will tell you what to do.
If you hit it then pretend that you don't see it.
Keep in mind, I am a big hypocrite and you can be like me too.
