I was making a right turn out of a shipper. I hit a pole with my rear tandem. It ended up bending the rim and made the tire blow out.
Now I'm at the shipper waiting for someone to come n fix it.
First I called on road n she told me she took care of it. N that I did not need to send a macro.
Then about 45 minute later someone calls asking why i haven't left the shipper yet so I tell him what happen.
He tells me send in a accident macro since I damaged the company property.
This is about by 5th month of driving.
I just want to know what will happen.
It's been a rough past few weeks because I also got my trailer stuck inside a ditch a few weeks ago making another right turn n had to get it towed out.
Just hit pole at shipper. What now

Swing Wide, it's a Freaking Trailer!!!!!!!!
You'll probably be sent with a Trainer again to do a Evaluation Test, you will probably get Written Up and since this is your second Preventable Accident, the next one is a Termination.
You need to travel light, because you may be taking a trip home on the Shoe Leather Express, or the Running Dog Express the next and last time.Last edited: Dec 8, 2016

Right turn thread...... @Thull.
Odds are you'll visit Safety in a week or two. They'll chew you out, you'll do some CBT's or other remedial training then you'll be back out....

Not the best thing you could have done. Is the company where you hit the pole complaining?
RedRover Thanks this. -

Then your company "may" show some leniency.
RedRover Thanks this. -
Lie. Drive down the road a ways, blame some sort of large pot hole in the road. You'll get a talking to for not scanning the horizon far enough in advance to miss the large pothole but you won't get fired lol
bottomdumpin, tallmon, misterG and 5 others Thank this.
