Preventable Accident

i believe it is just a protocol. if you dont feel good about it then is time to plan your next company. tommorrow is a better day

 

im sure you will be alrite, it seems minor and it wont have any effect even if it is in your DAC but dont take my words for it. let see what other drivers gonna say

 

One black mark won't hurt you.
Don't even worry about it.

 

Company policy. Stick it out and don't hit things going forward. Get your year in, and move to a better company.

I'm almost 7 years in, and I almost took out a trailer door backing in to a dock today. I was backing in, the sun was directly behind me, so the mirrors were all but ineffective. The docks had bars sticking out on each side below the door seals with flat bumper plates painted yellow. The dock I was backing into - the flat plate had been knocked off on the right side, and there was NO bar on the left side, and there was NO bar, flat plate or door seal pad on the left side - the side I could actually almost see. Backing in blind, I felt the need to stop, get out, walk to the back and check both sides. That's the only thing that saved me from breaking a door off the trailer today.

Experience comes with time.

 

Short answer is yes goal get out and look

 

Just relax, this is no biggie. Literally no biggie, I've had drivers do a lot worst. The company has their policies as I do and I don't deviate from them, so don't sweat it.
