    Boss approves of this? I would express my extreme displeasure of this practice.

    I'm just wondering if this is even legal? Isn't it putting drivers lives in danger?

    You value your job?? You best keep your mouth shut. This is private property, owned by your boss, the mechanics are his employees and basically it is none of your business. Oh, do you own the truck, if the answer is yes, then you might have a right to say something, but if it is a company truck and the boss is aware of the situation, take my word, you are about to get "run off".

    I hate the big companies
    they dont care about me

    I hate the small companies
    they dont follow my heightened sense of superiority

    my dad had a beer when he changed the oil in the car on saturday
    i am not sure how i lived thru it

    When I was in grade school my dad used to drink and drive all the time. I was never worried though, if we HAD gotten into a wreck I am completely sure him putting his right arm out would have stopped me from flying out the windshield.
