DONT RUIN YOUR LIFE BY INVOLVING YOURSELF OR LOVDED ONE WITH THIS COMPANY

Speed in a car is totally different than a truck that can weigh up to 40 tons. What was the posted truck speed and how fast was he going? If he was heavy you use the gears and engine brakes, not ride the actual brakes to slow down.

He should have felt his brakes getting mushy and he should have stopped. Trucks are allowed to pull over to the shoulder to cool their brakes down.

You posted vague information about what happened, but you blame totally the company.

 

He has driven for years, but he did not feel the brakes dragging? As stated before brakes smoke way before catching fire, did he not look in his rear view windows?

If the sheriff was behind him did not the sheriff notice the smell and smoke before the fire? I ride with my window up in a car and I can smell a trucks brakes overheating and smelling while behind them for at least 1/2 a mile.

What did he weigh? What hill going down? What speed?

 

Why is he not here posting this? You are posting 2nd hand information and you are not able to answer any of the questions posed to you.

Again if the sheriff was behind him, he would have smelled the brakes cooking... Humm... turn on the lights and pull the truck over...

 

I don't get it. There were several people sued the company I work for. And won thousands of dollars. Why not do the same if the company is so bad? Drivers get rich from horrible dispatchers.

 

Sheriff was posting pictures to fb. caption read. He boys head over to hill such and such. We got us another live one. Haha.
Good to hear driver is ok.

 

I'm feeling the exact same way right now considering you're not in the business and multiple people are telling you the two or three possible ways a brake can catch on fire and you refuse to listen. If you don't want to listen to smart logical answers then go away.
