Oh no. That’s going to be a big bill. I don’t get how people do that. One of my dads fleet trucks had that happen. The gas attendant filled his ford up with gas and luckily the truck driver noticed it saying gas on the receipt before he started the truck. Gas station paid for all towing and repairs. They didn’t fight it at all.

On the other hand, I work in IT being a consultant, and all work is remote to begin with. Now if I didn't have to go out and get beer, I'd probably be just fine...

Don't know. He really doesn't know. He admitted such. He's not too smart, really, but he's a machine and like I said above, he doesn't have a life really so he doesn't mind working lots of hours. Fight or flight maybe?

At least he told you when he got back. I’ve had employees just hide damaged equipment from me and then act dumbfounded when I asked about it. No choice but to let a guy go when they don’t take responsibility for their actions. Sounds like you have a mutually beneficial relationship with this guy.

I had a similar thing happen, by my own design. Having just started driving a box truck for my brother-in-law, I managed to crush the upper right front corner of the box against a tree branch, on my first day driving alone.
