If you back into something and hit it, is it a preventable accident if there is no damage?

    So the DOT comes in and writes up the accident?

    Come on guys, it is a company thing, nothing else.

    Preventable = Fired. Pick another orientation wannabe. I never said anything about DOT. Now... if I wanted to sit and think it over I would but I'll leave it here. I understand what you are driving at. I just wanted to clarify my own position and lay the cards on the table.

    Does a tree still make a noise when it falls if no one is around?
