Rubbed a tree limb, Accident or Incident???

That's what it is called, it doesn't effect so be happy you didn't get fired.

and by the way, I know a few cities who would have cited you for damaging the tree. I got to pay for tree trimming from a 'burb outside of Chicago where my driver took out a large limb when directed by a cop to go down the street to detour from an accident, beside the damage to the trailer, the tree cost me $1400.

 

For the majority of Carriers, incidents are accidents.

 

You'll see 100's of trailers on the road with duct tape patches.

 

yeah I seen a few flapping in the wind ...

 

Insurance companies don’t pay for incidents. They pay for damages related to accidents and other occurrences. They also limit their liability in the same document.

It may be described as an incident in the documents, when referring to an accident. But the forms can be called by any name.

 

Sounds like any side street in Baton Rouge......they got some old droopers canopying and shading their streets.....

 

You would prefer an "on purpose" report? So you did this on purpose or was it done accidentally.. with your attitude, you'd be riding in the bus on the way home.. not driving a truck for a company I was connected with. I've seen your type on these boards for a couple of decade now.. you screw something up and proclaim that you are so special that no one (even those who have to pay to fix what you damage) should give you some sort of prize for simply being there.
