Need advice for tomorrow..

What about the stuff you can't take pictures of...stuff you can't see? And, if I was a shipper, I wouldn't want my merchandise being pulled by something that looks like that. Yich!

 

Thats just so worrying but more than likely true.

 

Yeah, but the kicker is a decent one.... better chance of seeing big foot riding a unicorn....

 

Wow!!!

I recovered several trucks for Burlington Motor Carriers years ago and none were even close to being this bad! A brand new truck to boot; a photo of the person who willfully trashed the truck would speak volumes. TL freight carriers hire anybody, no big secret.

I'd drive it to their shop and park it. If USA Truck couldn't get me a well maintained truck I'd go back home until they do as I'm sure they won't pay you for your 'wait time'. You would be no 'hero' for allowing USA Truck to crap all over you this time as they will continue doing it if you put up with the non sense.

Brand new truck completely trashed - pathetic. I've delivered a few ProStar Sleepers - very good trucks.

 

You answered your own question: park it.

 

How sweet .. what a big hearted shop foreman ... buddy you latched on to a real winner of a company ... they'll pay the fine. Son ... the least of your worries is the fine you'll pick up at the first chicken coop you pass through.

Well ... it's your decision ... but just remember this when you are looking at the full penalty ... THEY SET YOU UP FOR THIS FALL ... why ... because it's too expensive to tow ... WHAT A CROCK!

 

Ya know ... you havn't driven that truck one inch yet ... you could easily get in it and the first time you put on the brakes it could pull you right into the other lane from the looks of that front axle the previous driver hit something hard and could have knocked the front end out of line and possibly even busted the diaphram on the brake chamber. That truck was drove hard (and recklessly) and put up wet ... ain't no #### way in H___ I'd risk my hide driving that POS ... and you you ain't got no business doing it either. Contrary to popular opinion ... THAT IS WHAT TOW TRUCKS ARE MADE FOR ... sorry bout the shouting ... but I hate to see a young fella being messed up over something as trivial as this ... TOW THE DARN THING!
