    Hi all,

    I had a bad day and hit the mirror of a van parked in a terminal that I was delivering to.

    Will this incident be reported on my DAC or MVR?

    I would appreciate your feedback.

    Thank you

    MVR no. DAC, well that depends on company policy, but something that minor is unlikely.

    Unless it was a rear view mirror I’d probably just pay for it myself and boss is happy.

    Were you looking in that mirror when you were backing up? If not.... why? Really no excuse for that one. SLOW DOWN.... PAY ATTENTION! "LITTLE" things like that can cripple your chances to "move up" in this industry.

    on private property..??

    nope

    on a street??

    yes, if the cops were called to file a report.

    however, it may very well go into your personnel file as either an accident or incident, depending on how YOUR company see's it.

    which means, if it's on your personal record, and you apply for a new job?

    you very well may have to list that on the application, as your company "might" tell the new employer.
