    Pretty much straight foward. I tore off my trucks bumper on something backing up to park for the night. Already reported it and they said it was cosmetic damage and to go to a TA or Loves to get it latched back on. I'm on a 12-month probation for a speeding ticket I got in Nov invovling 15+ in an active work zone. I was told the company treats accidents differently to speeding and that it shouldn't affect my probation. I was wondering if there is anyone who has worked for them, or knows their current policy well enough to confirm? Safety is out for the weekend, so I am trying to figure out.

    Your job security there is directly tied to how good you are at dance/choreography (& not necessarily just driving)......:

    Don't be in such a hurry. You're rushing your way out of a job. Both incidents were EASILY preventable.

    For context, i have been driving them for goingpn 3 years. I was a school bus driver before that, and I had gone 20 years without a speeding ticket or accident that resulted in any citation or ticket.

    My manager has called me a dependable driver, and the ticket was the only thing keeping me from diver of the year.

    I imagine when Monday comes you'll know. One thing......you've already reported it. No need to have anymore conversations with safety. Just keep working until told otherwise. It isn't like you jack knifed or rolled over, or had any type of accident that requires a police report.
