    Dude who gives a flip? It's the friggin internet.

    It makes no difference whatsoever if he's biased toward his father. The only relevant info is that the tow driver said there was a mechanical failure and that info was used successfully in court in defense of his father.

    my

    You wanna tell me I'm running my mouth? You JUST told Wooly he was wrong actually you said, "Actually, you couldn't probably be more wrong." You don't know any facts about the OP's rollover unless it was posted here. Then your up in here comparing your father's 3 million safe miles and tdc awards to the op like accidents only happen to no one....

    Check yourself driver.

    That's great and all, but what about the OP's case? Where's the hero truck driver to prove it wasn't his fault?

    Knowing his company they will make it out to be the ops fault no matter what.Guilty till proven innocent is how this industry works sad to say.

    Yes. You're obsessing over irrelevant details. The OP wants to know if he could find a job after getting fired for a rollover caused by mechanical failure.

    Most companies would I guess. But he says he has the accident report that cites mechanical failure as the cause. If I was the company I would think twice before firing him. Should be interesting. Would still like to know what broke.
