    Since his vehicle was towed away - this ,makes it a DOT recordable accident and they would have to report it. Which means it may be on his PSP report.

    That's what another guy said also so I checked it today for the first time because I didn't know about it until he mentioned it and it's clean nothing on there or any of the other places the accident would usually be reported

    @Eddiec is correct in it should be on your PSP. I hit a cow out in Oklahoma and it was reported on mine because the truck was towed. Would definitely be on there by now..sounds like you got lucky.

    That's what it sounds like to me to but it's just one of those things I wanna be sure of before apply somewhere get a job then it comes back to bite me in the ### but it's going on 3 months soon and at the same time I'm pretty sure if it's not on there by now for whatever reason then I may not come up at all

    Again, Read Post #9
    He's a fleet owner and knows what he's talking about.
    Don't be like others on here and make the mistake of talking too much and staying unemployed.

    Just a question out of curiosity that maybe one of the forum members like @Ridgeline would know the answer.

    Since not all MSP are DOT certified, do they have to be to report the accident?

    Thanks yeah because this has definitely set me back because I've been trying to be truthful but if I'm telling them something they may not find when they search why keep at it
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.
