So the axle locked up, drive line lost , then what....

 

He (realized or not) he pulled the air brake and ........

 

I would do my pretrip inspection and sign it off as unsafe to drive.

If he lost one side, any normal drivers reaction would be to get the truck stopped. This includes hitting the brakes. So it's not like one side locked up. It can easily be countered and stopped by and experienced driver.

They claimed they fixed it. Your husband claimed he done a pretrip inspection.

Only once. But drive shafts just don't fall out. If you know anything about U-joint installation, you have plenty of warning when one comes apart. Like a lot of vibration and knocking for several minutes prior to coming apart. Why did your husband ignore the warning signs and not pullover?

So why did he drive it? It's your husbands responsibility to check their work. After all he is trained to do pretrip inspections.

That's what I'm thinkin'. Drive shaft come apart, then took out airline. Why is redundant. The fact he continue driving while the truck shook violently was neglect and ignorance to what was happening. I'll just keep driving.

Inexperience, failure to inspect vehicle, failure to identify problem and unable to control the vehicle. Panicked! I wonder how he would of handled a steer tire blow out?


If you claim to live in TX, why are you posting 1000 miles away?

 

I think we can conclude it was her husbands fault, he didn't do a proper pre trip or he did but ignored all the warning signs. Got fired, blamed someone else cuz its never his fault. Just another BS story about someone who's mad cuz they made a mistake but want people to feel sorry for them. Kinda leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

@ Condo Cruiser - "If he lost one side, any normal drivers reaction would be to get the truck stopped. This includes hitting the brakes. So it's not like one side locked up. It can easily be countered and stopped by and experienced driver."

Good point on the brakes being applied to counter the locked side. I will plant that one in my brain for future use if needed. But hopefully not

 

1000 miles away... Huh Caught again.... Lying!


I hate people like this/her... Come on for the first time and just lie about everything and have nothing to back it up. Probably won't be back here (good).

 

I like trolls

 

SNI announced it is turning over about 1/3rd of the fleet. Taking 3,000 new trucks at about 75/week

 

I'm not getting something here. I've heard of both sides on one axle locking up and have had it happen to me but never the front and rear axle tires on one side only locking up at the same time while the other side spins freely. How does this happen?

 

Ignore the OP/liar... Never happend, it's a bunch of bs.
