Thank you all for your help!

Thank you Turtle for your reply. It’s definitely my fault and I’ve taken full blame. I reported it to safety, my dispatcher is off for the weekend. I’ll definitely learn from this mistake. I believe I’d fit into that category of a “dependable driver”, as I’ve never been late for an appointment and haven’t taken a day off since starting this career in December 19. Hopefully that will be enough for prime to keep me around.

Thanks again.

Hello, I’m a rookie driver for prime. Prime helped me get my CDL which I’m forever grateful for. I’ve been otr for roughly 10 months. This morning I was pulling out of a spot at a truck stop going about 3 mph, my trailer swung and the trailer tail caught the side of someone’s truck. It cracked his right side fender, part of his hood, and door mirror. I feel terrible this happened to the truck driver. There’s very minor damage to my trailer. I’m afraid because I don’t know what to expect. This is my first time getting into an accident and after reporting it to my company, I don’t know what the procedure is. Police wasn’t called so I didn’t get a ticket. What should I be expecting next? Any advice would help. Is it possible I could get fired? I love my job :(

Thanks.
