Hey Dominique The Professional truck driver. I watch your videos for some time now, I like it when you and your old man or at the auctions enjoy those. But to the point don't be so hard on yourself I understand how you feel your young but you're a seasoned driver. We're all only human we make mistakes and that's a given, and you learn from it. And don't be ashamed of what you done but back into the vehicle, I still have the utmost respect for you as a damn good truck driver. As a Colorado log hauler I can relate. I've had my share of accidents and screw-ups, even a layover turnover, felt so bad I just want to crawl in a hole and hide haha LOL. I got a lot of respect for you and the owner-operator It's A Hard Road and you seem to be making it work. And you no injury or death in your accident that's a good outcome hang in there and the best of luck looking forward to more videos God bless you and yours

Hey you know I don't live in America, I am in the UK, I used to own an old ford fiesta mark 6 Zetec from 2003, was my first car and I loved it to bits, I remember pulling into the petrol station one day to buy fuel, so I filled up and noticed someone had parked in front of me in the first pump bay, someone comes in behind me a little close and is waiting to fill up, I could have waited for the car to go in front as it was a tight exit to turn my front wheels at full lock, but I didn't and I was a little stressed out about me being boxed in, I didn't think really, tried to edge out and I caught the cars back bumper with my front bumper, I felt such an idiot and I felt so bad, I said I am so sorry for doing that do you want my insurance details, I got out and looked and said I haven't done anything else have I? Oh why did I do that, he could see I was so upset and that I had done more damage to my front bumper instead of his back one, he said as you are such a nice person and you didn't mean to do this etc, I think a bit of T-cut should get rid of that little scratch, I said are you sure about this, he said yes it is fine you go on ahead, I got in and waved to him with a down look on my face, I felt relieved but still felt so down, you are right these things happen, we aren't perfect and even though it was a few years ago now and I have a new car, I still managed to curb my lovely penta wheel 😣 on my new car, the fact that you delt with it calmly and was willing to help out shows pure honestly, a really good person and a really good driver, we learn but it happens, you are right and I completely agree no one can go about their life not doing something to their vehicle, or other people's vehicles by accident, but that fact we deal with it and are willing to help, makes all that important difference, I can relate to you I really can. Though I never did get rid of that mark on the side of the bumper haha, but it was a reminder to me to wait next time if it's tight 🤣 or get out and look my dad would say. Thank you for sharing, and I am always willing to share too.

@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver In the larger City near me (Calgary) People hit Pedestrians and leave, what you did is no big deal. You owned up to your mistake. You are fine. A Driver hit my Brother and left too. My Brother hauls a Super-B full of Butane that is used to thin the oil down in the Pipeline going south, so that could of really been bad. You are far from an idiot driver. You are a professional from what I’ve seen over the years. My father had about 5 Million Accident Free Miles when he passed away in Jan of 2020. 😢 The worst Accident he had before he was at the Company he was at when he passed was pretty bad. When he first started trucking some guy pulled into a Service Station to get Gas and casually mentioned to the Clerk he was going to commit Suicide. My dad was coming into town fully loaded with Cattle and the Guy pulled out from the Service Station right in front of my Dad. My Dad T-Boned his Car and Rolled I guess there were Cattle everywhere. I wish People wouldn’t involve other People if they are going to do things. Killing that Man was with my Father his whole life.

The fact that you owned up to it and told your audience says a lot about who you are as a person. Your a rock star. Be safe.

You're absolutely right , there isn't a single one of us out here in the trucking industry that haven't messed up. Its not about mistakes we make , its how we handle them. You did right to own the mistake and make things right. Kudos to the guy for being reasonable and understanding. The world could learn something from both of you about being decent human beings. Thanks for representing our industry with integrity 👍

These things happen. They just ... happen. Your attitude and ownership of this incident is remarkable in and of itself these days, not to mention your bravery and sincerity. Onwards and upwards! 😊

Anyone that truly never makes a mistake isn't doing anything. You handled the situation honestly like the proffesional you are. You are an amazing truck driver, business professional, wife, mother and just a genuinely great human being. You are a great example to others. Those little bumps along the way are how we all learn and do better. Thank you for being you and keep on truckin'!👍🙂

Thanks for sharing! I’m an excavating contractor and as careful as we try to be with heavy equipment and trucks, things happen and you feel like crap when it does and you feel like your the only one who has ever made a mistake. But when someone like you shares their experience it helps us all appreciate we are human and it’s ok to admit we made a mistake.

You handled it like the professional you are and me being the trucking industry for 30 years. It's gonna happen you take care of it and move on and your videos are great keep them coming. 13:55

Dominic don’t beat yourself up over that. The most important thing is that you handled it as a professional business owner should. You didn’t run and hide you didn’t make up stupid stories and all this other stuff. Everybody else seems to do when that happens. Like the saying goes things happen and you fixed it and you’ll move on with life and your trucking career.👍👍👍

You’re only human I have a lot of respect for you ❤ keep up the great job

When I was training for LTL city work my trainer shared the most important words of wisdom that I think we all need to hear or read. He told me "don't let all these other people that don't have a clue rush you into making a costly mistake they can wait you have a job to do." He's very right, most of the people in cars couldn't care less about being in your way when your making turns or trying to get out of a lot. So why should I care about their brief inconvenience while I'm trying to do my job and do it safely.

You should not feel bad at all unfortunately its an accident and you really didn't do much damage to that truck if you ask me a tailgate. Keep driving be safe and have fun while you're doing it.

Don’t ever feel ashamed-even the most experienced driver has had their accidents. You’re an amazing person, a fantastic driver, an exceptional mom / wife. Minor set back, you will prevail! Hugs from NY.

Class act!! Handled things with utmost professionalism. Those of us who are embarrassed when we make a mistake are the ones who actually care.

Never feel ashamed to admit your mistakes, honesty and having morals is a gift these days :)

I've been driving 40 years and I have had my share of mishaps. I don't care what any one says they have had accident sometime in their career. Doesn't matter how many miles they driven

No need to be embarrassed or ashamed for sure , it happens and you sure didn’t do it on purpose. Glad he wasn’t some jerk about it and you were able to fix it !! Keep doing what you love doing everything will be fine !!

Dauminque, you are still a better truck driver than 90% of the ones I have to deal with everyday and I wouldnt trust any of them backing up a trailer

Your the best, we need more truck drivers that care like you. Don't be embarrassed.

Don't feel bad things happen. At the time, you were doing what you thought was right. You owned up to your mistake and took care of it. We all make mistakes we learn from them, which makes us better in whatever we do for a living. Don't let this beat you. You are doing a good job. Keep up the good work.

Hey there your a bit tough on yourself. We all make decisions and sometimes that leads to mistakes but we all learn and try to do better. The pride yourself and Bobby takes with your work and shares with everyone is what makes your channel great! Keep up the great work!!

The fact that you hit something is not really a big deal it's how you react afterwards. You handled yourself very well, and clearly he is happy. Glad nobody got hurt.

Accidents happen to the best of people. You aren't the first and you sure won't be the last. I am going to assume that you didn't notify your insurance company and I wouldn't have either. Just keep on being the person you are and you won't have a thing to worry about. Keep on trucking and stay safe out there 🙏.

I’ve been driving for 25 years, and I can tell you, don’t ever feel embarrassed. We strive to be the best , but nobody is perfect , we’ve all had accidents and that’s what makes us better at what we do. It teaches us not to make the same mistake twice. 👍

One of the many reasons I dislike driving in the Seattle area. Even though I'm running an F250 with a 32' gooseneck I always check the google earth view to get a better idea of what I'll facing and I've still managed to run into tight spots. I agree with you on the just stop for 2 minutes and regroup. Videos like this are what keeps you real, it's not all flowers and rainbows.

You my friend !!! Outstanding human being. The reason you felt so much emotion was because you’re honest and trustworthy and in your life you except nothing but that. I wish everyone was like that.

I was afraid something major happened. Was so relieved to hear it was such a minor incident. Things like that happen. The fact that you care so much is what makes you so incredible. Keep on keeping on!

You have nothing to be embarrassed about and truthfully stuff happens. I still think what you do is AMAZING! Shalom

It’s tough to keep your focus when in a difficult situation. Years back my grandpa told me that, not just in trucking but, in life there will be “bumps” along the way and we have to take them and learn from those experiences how to avoid them on the next trip. He also said the more that I dwell on the mistakes I make that it allows for more to be made. Good for you by handling this situation by keeping honest with yourself. Nowadays most people would’ve tried to lie their way out of this had they been the one responsible for the damage. 👏👏

You are courageous and have integrity, so don’t beat yourself up. (I do the same to myself, so no judgement.) The fact no one was injured and you and the F-150 driver handled it with kindness and respect us a win for humanity. 😊 Thanks for sharing your experience! My heart was pounding anxiously as you described the situation with traffic and the side street.

Oh my goodness girl shit happens no matter how long you drive or how careful you are it will happen. Don't be so hard on your self. You're awesome. Carry on.

That’s the worst of it? The suspense was killing me! I was waiting to hear about the dead bodies, the wild police chase, and then seeing you on the On Patrol Live highlight real. Accidents happen, and it’s the truth. You have a good conscious and a good heart Miss. You made it right, which is what the F150 owner deserves. Stay Safe!

Hey Dauminique do not feel embarrassed it happens too the best of us. I have been driving trucks for 15 years. Had my share of minor accidents. Have found that owning up to them right from the start is the best medicine. Keep up the good blogs. Enjoy watching here in Australia.

That fact that you hold yourself to a high standard and care about your career speaks volumes about you. I’ve been around dump trucks and pups and dump trailers pretty much my whole life and I can tell you that those types of incidents are gonna happen especially when you factor in the amount of weight you carry and the tight spots you get into doing this kind of hauling. Learn from it and keep on truckin !

Thank you for sharing it takes a lot of courage to share something like that. And you are not alone. It's been awhile for me but I got turned around in Chicago after only driving for a couple of months on my own. Missed my turn and tried to go around the block but ended up hitting a fire hydrant.

We, another driver and I were following directions from a contractor 😊 to a jobsite and he lost the "" coin toss"" and went in first. Took down phone lines and cable TV wires. I followed the same route and had the contractor come out with a 12 ft 2x4 to lift up the wires. We have 53 ft trailers and deliver Sonotubes to job sites. This story took place in Queens NY/ NYC area. When I started down the street? All kinds of irate people came out of their homes. Remember, I was the second truck! Happy trails and safe travels!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Awesome video.👍👍👍

Sweetie That is why you pay insurance. You are being way to hard on yourself! If that's your first accident you have a good record going!!! It's called an accident and you didn't hurt anyone you damaged a pickup that can be repaired. Chin up and Keep on trucking!!!

My heart goes out to you for feeling so bad about a minor accident. Not easy maneuvering a truck that size through a residential area, much less with a trailer attached. With the weight you were carrying you couldn’t have felt the hit to the pickup! I love watching your videos, You do an awesome job!

I expected something way worse. What a gnarly route and trying to figure things out on the fly. Great learning situation.

Thank you for sharing it takes real courage to own your mistakes and I hope that people and your subscribers learn from you and this experience

Your honest and owned your mistake. Theres no need to feel sorry for yourself. You did the right thing

That's why they are called "accidents". They are not meant to happen, they just do and you are not perfect and we all have done them. I thought when you started to talk that perhaps you ran over a school bus loaded with kids!!!! I just stumbled across your channel tonight and I'm impressed. When I see a gal driving a rig, that impresses me so thanks. I've done a fair amount of truck driving over the years but I was also a law enforcement officer for 30 years and the fact you made it right, came forward, admitted to you error, speaks volumes. Don't let this one incident control who you really are. I consider you a professional and keep up the great work.

UR HUMAN GIRL & THINGS HAPPEN, RELAX & BREATH (CHIC'S RULE). WE STILL LUV U.

Dauminique you are human and that fact inherently means you will make mistakes. Beating yourself up like this is not healthy. You admitted to it, owned up to it, Paid for it. You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, NOTHING. Your husband and child/children should have nothing but pride in you and strive to be just like you

You are a AWSOME truck driver and we are all human and we all will make mistakes period but the way you handle it is what counts and you owning your mistakes makes you a better truck driver keep up the good work.

You are a model of accountability and professional driving.

No one is perfect. Just be thankful he was an understanding person. Keep on trucking.

Thanks for sharing. City driving is challenging. I’ve been driving for 2 years and am definitely not perfect. Always room for improvement.

Dauminique, I drove trucks when I was a telephone lineman etc. This included work vans all the way up to huge boom trucks. My employer had a policy of do anything you can to NOT backup. But, in your job you back up all the time; every time you dump (with or without trailer) and if this is your only accident backing you are a good driver in my opinion. Actually I'm awestruck at how well you do backing and how you jackknife the trailer to dump the truck. If you didn't feel responsible you would have probably had many more scrapes and tried to escape responsibility. Take pride in how well you do.

Dominique your honesty says a lot about your character willing to admit to your mistakes and learning from it shows more responsibility and respectability. Your conscience is clear! One time I had some work done at my place that was quite expensive, I paid the person and he took my check put it in his pocket and marked my bill paid in full, a few weeks later I had realized I had shorted him $5000,00. I called him up to make sure his books balanced (not telling him the amount) reflected the difference he said yes he was short that amount. I immediately wrote him a check for the shortfall because I knew I would not live with myself knowing that I had done that. My conscience is clear!

If that’s the most that you ever do in your career then you can be pretty darn proud of that, nobody is perfect by any means but I absolutely love you and your videos keep up the great work !!!!

And the fact that you cared enough to go public with your mistake means you are a person of integrity and honor. You owned up to your mistake and made it right with the guy and you've learned from the incident. Let it go and move on. Sadly, your "road integrity" is all too rare. 💖👍👍

Dauminique, I know this incident weighed heavy on your heart. There is no truck driver who hasn't made mistakes. And yes there is something new to learn all the time. The driver who says they know everything is the driver who you will not learn anything from. Proud of your honesty and the way you presented the story. Good luck and safe travels.🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
