Haulmark Trucking In correct D.A.C. reporting Houston Texas
on 5/11/09 i was released fro haulmark trucking for have not reporting a incedent and not a accident. i was loading in galveston ,tx on 5/10. it was late and dark the night i got loaded .so i pulled from the dock and parked up the road from delmonte foods and went to sleep.the next morning i was doing my pre- trip inspection and noticed the damage to the trailer and notified the saftey director Steve Mc gee. and a couple of minutes later i called my dispatcher and told her of the damage and to put it in the system so it would be recorded.
The company then reported the incedent as a accident and also put it on my D.A.C as accident and not reporting the accident.When in reality it was a hit and run. I also have filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Comisson for filing in- correct information to a consumer reporting angency. Which also in against the consumer reporting act. They also tape all the conversation the day that i reported the incedent. Which is also against the wire tap laws.

Incident vs Accident

Just a thought here.... an "incident" is defined as behavior that could lead to an accident. An "accident" is defined as actual damages. You mentioned that it was a "hit and run". That probably qualifies as an accident because it would have casued actual damages to the vehicle.
As long as 1 party knows that a conversation is being taped it doesn't violate wire tap laws.
Maybe splitting hairs here but it looks like you were the guilty party.... just sayin'.

Well, in Texas, only one party has to know that a recording is taking place, and it's not wiring taping.
Furthermore, I find it hard that you did not know that you were hit. You should have felt it. I can see why they reported it as an accident.
Why didn't you feel your truck being hit? It seems to me the claims by your previous employer may be legitimate under the circumstances.
