Paying cash for repairs to a company truck to avoid backlash?

Pay for it out of pocket and keep your mouth shut.

 

Never tell on yourself. Consider it a lesson you paid for Lol

 

Its sad that people feel they need to hide it. No other industry is as dumb as trucking when it comes to screwups.

 

Small nic nac stuff that a mega company would ding ya for I'd keep it to yourself. Big things obviously you can't keep it from em

 

I worked at a Toyota dealership doing mechanic work for a couple years. Hit a brand new car that was being drove in off the truck when I came around a corner in a customers car. Thankfully the customers car wasn’t hurt, but the new one was dented in. My boss just told me to be careful. I offered to pay for it out of my checks and he didn’t even make me. I realize he was a good boss, but like has been said trucking is the worst for those kind of things.

 

Was getting unloaded at the plant once. Girl unloading my trailer was mad at having to do that job. She was tossing the metal racks around so hard she threw a few boxes of body control modules across the dock. All she got was the night off, which is what she wanted anyway.
I also won't mention the twice a week shop visit to patch holes in the trailer....
