Backed into pole! Aghrr

[Savvy412]

Backed into a pole. When backing I kinda slid on the slush and hit the pole and bent the metal tailgate thing on the back of the truck. Wtf do I do and what's gonna happen

=(

God damnit!!!

You did the right thing by posting here on Brown Cafe rather than calling your supervisor and reporting the accident.

Inform the center? Just make an effort to be more careful, many of us have been there.

They got them after you retired.

After horses?

 

[Number24]

Inform your $up

If you bent that back bumper in it looks like all the others now. Tell your boss what happened, as long as they don't have to spend any money to fix they will probably let it go.

My sup is on is on vaca so just message on Diad saying

Just wanted to report dent on back bumper bla bla?

 

[rod]

If its bad enough to notice I would slam it in forward and then slam it in reverse and hit that MF as hard as you can. You're going to be charged with an accident anyway--may as well make it a good one.

Should have called...but at least you informed

 

[Jones]

Call, don't use the diad, if they decide to sweep it under the rug why create a paper trail.

 

[tacken]

I would also post on face book. Call center

If there was no damage to the pole just send a message (DIAD) explaining what happened/what was damaged and keep on trucking. They will probably contact you swiftly.

 

[Savvy412]

Ya I messaged the center. Not gonna try to hide it and get caught because then your just. FIRED. friend it

 

[rod]

I see them back up cameras were a waste of money

 

[FrigidFTSup]

And everybody wonders why we harp on backing.

Call your center manager or another on car

Problem is all the young guys fixate on it and forget to use their mirrors
