Should I report deer strike incident on job applications?

Re: STexans post

So maybe, get a copy of your MVR and just make sure it matches your responses?

 

always pull your MVR before filling out applications... the information is entered by humans, and mistakes do occur.

 

Getting an MVR [on yourself] is as important as monitoring your credit report periodically for unknown fraud and mistakes. Post accident, field reports are transcribed from actual license, to paper, to computer system by various individuals. Handwriting and attention-to-detail by many is not very good at best. Lots of room for data entry error. Maybe one time in your favor, but thousands of opportunities for an error to work against you or someone else.

 

It's already been a year and nobody has noticed or even cared. I'm sure you'll be fine. That's like a tree branch falling onto your car and you reporting it to insurance. On another note I know a thing or two about hitting those darn things. I've hit 3 deer living in the mountains (people always tell me instead of hunting with a rifle to bring my car)

 

If it is not on your MVR in a years time...it's not going to be. And trucking companies don't contact personal insurance companies (how can they...they don't have you sign anything for it or even ask who your insured with) they inquire MVR's with DMV's and Government agencies.
It is not in THEIR records....so keep it to yourself.

 

If it's been a year and nothing was reported to your state MVR and there was no police report I wouldn't worry about it. They report quarterly I think, so there is a little lag time usually.

 

They will NOT get anything form your insurance company regarding a deer strike.

Do as the others (and now I say), and that is to, keep quiet!
You could very well open up a can of worms. some places may see "accident" and never call you back, as they may have NO time to talk to you, and move onto another applicant that has "no accidents" listed.

 

The union trucking co. I worked for years ago treated a deer strike as a chargeable incident, meaning, you had to go in front of the "board", which consisted of a cop, a union member, and a co. rep., which we all complained (whined) about, claiming that was an act of God, but they never changed their policy. If there's no report, I wouldn't worry about it.
