This is a terrible response. If it were simply dealing with the inconveniences, fine. Unsafe equipment? Nah. Find a different company. Better to be labeled a job hopper and a living one than a loyal driver but a dead one.
Not sure about this company.

I agree with lots of the answers but when it comes to safety, you are responsible for your truck and trailer. Keep that in mind…

If the truck is DOT legal then you drive it. They won’t give you a decent truck until you don’t crash the first one. A fleet owner has a variety of trucks and he/she wants them all delivering loads.

Steer tires are supposed to be matched within a few 32nds. Truck pulled to the right like a mother$%^&er because of the steers. ABS and traction lights don't mean anything but it was a good indicator of the condition of the rest of the vehicle. The seat, regardless of it were a violation or not, was broken and would you want to drive in a truck with a seat like that?
Additionally, do you really want to drive for a company that runs things to the minimum? If they gave you a truck with 2/32 on the drives and 1/4" on the brake linings, would you want to drive it? It's legal. But is it acceptable for a company with over 1000 trucks to be running trucks in that condition?
