    You should have called the police after they put the gun to your head and forced you to drive a truck you didn't think was safe.

    Ha, I'm going back for more popcorn!! This is funny, How many times did you stop to fuel that diesel guzzling machine and not "Pop" the hood? Check the fluids! Look acrossed the top checking to hoses wires back to the front down the front of the engine checking belts hoses pullies and the compressor then listen for any air leaks... What about the PTI you can't do? Going back to easy chair with a big bowl of poped corn and a nice cold soda!!

    Is this your only complaint with W/S, the fact that you are expected to be responsible for your truck?

    How dare these companies???

    Wow! So the bolts backed all the way out between one pretrip and the next, (that was FAST!) and there was no way you could have been expected to 1) notice before they almost came all the way out and started leaking so bad you could hear it over the turbo. 2) have a wrench and tighten them yourself. or 3) Have W/S send you a limo to take you to the lounge at the truck stop and tow THEIR truck in to have someone tighten those bolts for you. Please tell me you have found a company that will put someone with a set of basic tools on your truck with you for such emergencies in the future. Is your dad busy? Maybe he could come with you so you don't have to drive such unsafe equipment all by yourself......
     
    48Packard and Rooster1291979 Thank this.

    This has nothing to do with the school he went to rather a total lack of common sense. No amount of schooling can teach him this and you don't need to be a trucker to assess troubled situations. He did drive a vehicle prior to this job can you only imagine how he dealt with his own issues
