Jb hunt “preventable accident”

Your company can just not list it.
Some of those stores do that to make money. Every truck that backs into the dock or ramp, gets charged for damages. Some stores make a lot of money charging hundreds of dollars, several times a day.
`
Every company that had a truck back in there that day, got a bill for dock/lift repairs. It's an old scam.

 

Why shouldn't it be on your record? You damaged someone else's property, no matter how small this pole was, it's not yours.

Next time get out and look. G.O.A.L

 

It's not that big of a deal. Drivers back into things all the time, especially when they're inexperienced. No need to get a lawyer. You still have a job with JB Hunt?

 

Was going to say, if it don't look like when you showed up when you leave, it's a preventable accident.

 

It's a money scam from the company he delivered to.

 

Swift did something similar to me once. Not much you can do about it. They'll say whatever they want to say. Fortunately, no company I applied to after leaving Swift paid any attention to it. Everybody knows how this industry works. If they need drivers they'll overlook anything trivial. If they don't then they might use it as an excuse to blow you off.

Having said all that... you did hit a stationary object. Do better. Trucks are heavy.
