Preventable accidents

So did that count as preventable accident on your mvr or driver record and does it only show up if insurance have to pay for damages? Like I said it was already scratches and dents on the guys trailer so I'm wondering if my carrier would have to pay for that therefore making me have to pay deductible. I talked to my insurance and I sent pictures they should since it was no damages I should be ok. I just really want to know if that shows up on my record.

You "Should" be ok, early in my team driving days, we had an Amazon load to drop at a DC. Place was kinda tight, and I was backing into a very close/tight hole @ the dock. 1 trailer on my blindside, was 1 of our company trailers already docked there, trying to be ever so slow and get it in the slot, it was tedious. So tight was this docks slots, their yard goats, should be doing the docking of trailers lol

Anyway, I ended up barely touching OUR company trailer, and rubbed it with the corner of my drop trailer. NO damage, just wiped some of the dirt off the exterior trailer wall. As soon as I felt/heard the contact, I stopped, and got out to look.

BUT, the Amazon people around went ape shyt and made a big deal out of it. Had to give em my DL, insurance, etc so they could write it up. Another guy was on the phone, yada yada. They claimed I shoved the trailer to the side on its landing gear feet. Well, I showed em the drag/slide marks went in the Opposite direction, than if I had actually shoved it over.

So I called and talked to our safety dept, and DM, during all this explaining the situation, and it was ALL good. A big fuss over nothing was made by the Amazon people, I just laughed in the end. And YES I finally was let to finish my drop at the dock
