    Looking at the rust on his truck; it probably wouldn't even be noticed anyway.

    Consider this, if you didn’t report it, and they found it it was on camera, then you would be on the hook for hit and run. Then you almost certainly WILL be fired.

    I would report it. Chances are the customer will just laugh it off. I mean it is a box truck... i’m guessing it’s not in showroom condition anyway lol.

    I mean you're talking like you rolled your truck. The company does have a right to know, because when you go in for a PM they're going to probably ask about it. That won't get you fired. That's not even a preventable in my mind
     
    Steele123 Thanks this.

    Don't sweat it . Just take your time and be more careful from now on. #*%¢ DAC and all the crap companies that use that POS service. It was created by mega companies to screw drivers and keep them as indentured servants. Never has DAC reported. " this driver has excellent safety/service record and deserves top quality pay above all other steering wheel holders"
     
    Steele123 Thanks this.

    Don't worry about dac. Companies use that threat to try to keep drivers from quiting. Many good companies don't use dac. Don't stress on this but just pay attention to what your doing. And if in doubt.G.O.A.L.
     
    Dave_in_AZ and Steele123 Thank this.

    Nobody else but you and this guy is gonna tell you they hit your truck. They gonna get in and speed off. So you aren’t doing anything that makes anyone else feel honest. Sorry man just the way of the world.
