    Don't worry about getting sued. They will settle up with your company's insurance carrier. I know this has got you rattled but as stressful as it is, it could have been a lot worse. Tomorrow is another day so just pay attention, watch your mirrors and stay safe.

    Never heard of a safety outfit that would tell a driver not to take pics.
    Was it a local cop or highway patrol?

    I don't know if that's after taxes or not. Yes, company drivers.

    There should be a disposable camera somewhere in your truck. Maybe the driver before you ditched it or threw it away.

    I was told to use it even if I put a black mark on a curb somewhere. LOL. There's a few spots I have to pick up at it's almost impossible not to. And the those curbs are already black from every other truck that went there before me. It's weird, but yeah they really want pictures.

    When my driving partner got the truck stuck in some grass, I called for him because he didn't want to do it. The first thing they asked me was if I got pictures. I texted them the pictures and they were happy after that. You can use your phone if you don't have a disposable camera in your truck. Make sure one of your pictures has their license plate in the photo.
