    The problem is if I straighten it out and go in to a terminal they're going to notice it and knock me off my head.

    That scenario would be wood block a malet or hammer you don't want to bang directly on the surface, heck it could be two pieces of plywood one on each side so you don't bang it to far out.
    This is just an example. Make sense?
    See if you can find any videos of a body an fender guy banging out dents then what I said will make more sense lol.

    I was going to say this seems awfully minor and really not worth the time to report to DAC and furthermore, this whole DAC thing as this big boogie man of the trucking industry I think is a tad over blown.


    There have been plenty of threads and responses on here of people saying DAC is way overblown and people make to much of it and I think there is some truth to that.

    Your right and if he's able to pay and fix out of pocket for this very minor issue which would be an ata boy stand-up move his carrier is still probably going to ding' em for it and leave off any notations that he was stand up.
