    If it was so bad why did you keep driving??? They can't make you drive a unsafe truck.

    if your dispatcher is in montana and your in georgia you should look under the hood and tell him whats leaking.
    maybe you could save the company big cash on road service and shop time
    he cant look from montana and decide how far your gonna get.
    if they got a pack o drivers who dont know their way around a truck then yes, they might be a bad company!!

    What is this "popped the hood" stuff? Wouldn't the mechanics do all this "stuff" when the truck is in for it's 15/20/25,000 mile service?

    He doesn't have to check the oil, he just calls in and they tell him it's fine over phone.
