Your truck is struck while legally parked and you are in the sleeper berth. What should you still do?
- A.Move the truck before anyone can document positions
- B.Stay in the berth because you were not driving
- C.Get out safely, check for injuries, protect the scene, and report the collision to police and your employer as a crash involving your vehicle
- D.Report it only if your truck is damaged
Correct answer
C. Get out safely, check for injuries, protect the scene, and report the collision to police and your employer as a crash involving your vehicle
Why
A collision involving your commercial vehicle is reportable whether or not you were at the wheel. Positions, witnesses, and the other driver's information are all perishable, and they matter to your company even when fault clearly lies elsewhere.
