Back a few mlonths ago, while driving for Knight, While backing under a trailer, I hit a knee-high post and damaged the pass. Side fairing in front of the fuel tank. There was no one else inviolved, no ticket, no vehicle towed away, and no injuries so this was NOT A DOT REPORTABLE accident, right? (Knight did not even repair the damage!)
So why did Knight report on my DAC that I had an accident???
They were no pics taken of the damage, no police report, and no bill for fixing the damage. The only reason they even know anything happened is b/c I did the right thing and turned myself n! (I won't make that mistake again!) So I am thinking if they can't prove the accident happened, then it didn't happen! Right?
I think Knight screwed me again! u tell me.

I would say, if you did not put it in writing to them. It's your word against theirs. Happens everyday in court.

knighton5 Thanks this.

I never wrote up a report or even signed one! They took my story over the phone, made me take a NON-DOT drug test (per company policy) and it was NEVER discussed again! I think I need to fight this!
JustSonny Thanks this. -

So how did they screw you? You had an accident, and admitted as much to them. Of course it's gonna go on your DAC. I'm not seeing where you got screwed.

You hit a fixed object and did damage to the truck. That makes it a driver fault, preventable accident. G.O.A.L You then did the right thing and reported it. Had you failed to report it and it was discovered at a latter date. You would have been fired for not reporting it and that would look really bad on your DAC.
You do not need to sign anything, They don't need to fix anything. It happened. You did it, Now except it and move on. -

I was told that Knight does not report anything under $XXXX amount.
I guess Knight lied to me as well on that.
