    I recently tipped my truck over in Virginia and had proof that Ryder did not fix the truck properly, so the judge reduced a failure to maintain control of the vehicle to a defective equipment w/ no points. Will any one hire me after this???

    I like to know too. If op knew it was defective before he left then he should have stayed till it got fixed.

    Defective equipment would make Ryder liable for the accident. I would sue.
