    Hello everyone. While doing my pretrip I came across damage to my hood and was wondering if I needed to report it. It doesn't affect safety or anything. I'm only wondering because I'm currently on company probation and I don't want to look like I'm trying to hide anything.

    Whats the damage? Small scratch? Half the hood missing?

    If its enough where your concerned about it. It should probably be reported.

    Take a picture. Hang on to it, send it to your company. If there is any doubt in your mind about what to do, take the safe option.

    It's a small crack under the headlight. Probably from a rock or something. Idk.

    Minor incidents. Back in June I caused a couple thousand dollars worth of damage(according to safety) to a building, back in September I bumped into a wall while backing into a dock at a Walmart, and a month ago I broke my hood mirror attempting to 90 degree back into a parking space. It's a lot I know but at least I can say they each taught me a lesson.

    Well, if you report the crack under the headlight, you'll probably be fired.
    Keep us posted.

    If that were to happen, would it be impossible to find another job?
