Mirrors are a green tag item these days, so they have to be charged out to a vehicle on the mechanic's time card. That will leave a record if somebody cares to investigate.

I AM cool, but more than a few of the drivers have tried to throw me under the bus for their lack of communication skills. I will not cover for somebody who may stab me in the back the next day.

If the mechanic is made whole and there was no damage to the PC or any other property why report it?

None. But this should be something we all can do, including mailboxes etc. if a guy can make it right, let him. Otherwise don't give management option to pick and choose who gets to fix it and who gets hung out to dry.

Who says you can't make a side deal with the mailbox owner and not report it. You can do anything you think you can get away with.

We had a driver who hit one of those portable basketball goals. Made a side deal with the kid who was outside playing. Kid's father didn't approve of side deal. Driver had a 3 day unpaid vacation.
That being said, I have a few stories on this subject that are best kept to myself until I retire.

And so... How many circle of honor patches do you think we're REALLY earned.

Just surviving for 25 years is amazing.
I just write them up as cracked mirror weather it's a little crack or the glass is missing.
Disclaimer --- I don't mean to take anything away from the circle of honor drivers we can not give them enough credit for the number of years of safe driving they have accomplished.
Remember 25 years of safe driving doesn't mean they didn't have an accident in 25 years. It just means they have had 25 years of no avoidable accidents, not necessarily in a row.

That’s Craptacular
the vast majority is not going to put 20 years in this hellhole and then bail...unless they are disabled and forced out, regardless of when they started.

We've had a guy take care of a mailbox on his own then the homeowner called in a claim for the lawn. Failure to report, game over.

Yeah I have a "friend" who has gotten backed into by another box truck at a dock, backed into by a snowplow and hit by a drunk driver on the side of the rear bumper, all with no damage to UPS property and all with no fault to my friend, but it's hard to not get hit by all the dummies who aren't as cautious as we are.
