What drivers learn

Here's the situation

You're involved in a crash. Doesn't matter whose fault it looks like at the scene, within minutes someone has a phone out. Maybe it's you. Maybe it's a bystander. Either way, what happens next on social media can hurt you and this company far more than the crash itself.

Plaintiff attorneys know this

In serious crash litigation, the first move for many of them is pulling up every driver's public profile, yours, your coworkers', the company's.

A federal post-accident drug and alcohol test may already be required after a qualifying crash, one involving a fatality, or a citation combined with a tow-away or an injury treated away from the scene. That test becomes part of the record.

Two more things that get drivers and carriers hurt. First, speculating about fault, even casually, even in a private group chat that gets forwarded along.

Your company standard: if you are involved in any incident, do not post about it, photograph it, or discuss it on any social media or messaging app, public or private. Do not geotag, check in, or comment on anyone else's post about it.

None of this is about hiding anything. It is about protecting the truth of what happened, protecting you, and protecting the paycheck this company depends on to keep the doors open.

An old post about being tired or running behind schedule

  1. It can't be used since it was private
  2. It only matters if posted publicly
  3. It doesn't matter unless a lawyer requests it
  4. It reads like an admission of fault, even if it was only said to blow off steam
