[QUOTE="35years, post: 4762398, member: 60822"] Cracked a mirror on a branch I had driven through hundreds of times before. I say I contact hundreds of trees a day on that rural wooded route, long driveways it happens. Boss said I should have walked it. 100 yards. Avoidable. I start walking any driveway that has a tree I could contact. 3 hours longer to do the route each day. C.M. says it shouldn't take that much longer, and I shouldn't ever crack a mirror. He rides with me to prove it. Hahaha... I let him make the call before deciding to go down any driveway. I also verbally count every branch we contact, over 150 by noon. He wants production, so he is sending me down nearly every one. We get to one I would never drive. Trees on both sides, too close to avoid. He has me fold the mirrors back and has me drive it, scraping 100+ yards all the way. When we complete the stop and fold the mirrors back out...ONE IS CRACKED! I tell him we have to call it in as an accident, he says no. 5 minutes later he tells me he will trust my judgement for now on for which driveways to walk. [/QUOTE]
