One of the guys where I work recently had a crash in his company car, management weren't really that bothered, I accidentally curbed a new Audi A7 I was borrowing for a while and again, they weren't that bothered by it. 

 

Hopefully your boss won't be too bothered as these things happen, good thing is you're ok!

My company are a nightmare if you have an accident in a works van they presume you're in the wrong and carry a full blow investigation.

Wife's company cars are all insured 3rd party, I think it depends what money pit a business has? In my company, a guy put diesel in a petrol, got a 1st & final but the sales team appear to be able to have 6mthly smashes & no action being taken?

I was devastated when I curbed the A7 and i couldn't believe their attitude when i took it back and showed them, they just said "it's no problem, the sales guys do it in their cars all the time", as if it's the most normal thing in the world!

They've changed since I worked there then... Mind you the young lady did make a bit of a mess of the 3 week old Audi A6 I was driving :)

Couple of new doors from a breaker and insurance probably don't even need to know, unless of course you totalled the tractor trailer?

Trailer hardly damaged. Bosses not keen on repair so it'll probably be a write off :(

I wonder how fiberglass would have fared against a trailer. At least you didn't have to find out thumbsup
