Tell her to get off the internetz. How bout you get off too...

 

Since when does a snide driver know which side of the tire the mud flap goes on.

 

Xtexas...you are on the Internet and don't like what people say? You must be new here. welcome to the world wide web!

 

A ha! I read it wrong. I thought you were talking about net for an O/O. Not gross for a company driver. I guess I'm the messed up one.

 

yeah! They both need a good spanking!

 

Correct me if I am wrong, if you fail to PMCS (Pre-trip) and something goes wrong because you failed to do the right Pre-trip or ignored the signs doesn't something like that fall back onto the driver, not the carrier? And if he knew the problems it would also be the drivers job to notify his carrier of the issue, knowing most large companies they wouldn't send him out if there was a problem, not for drivers safety but more for the fact the company doesn't want to be sued.

 

No, you are painting with a very wide brush, things break, I passed a us exp driver once, looked over at him and told him to get the hell off the road, his left front wheel was coming off. Was the seal leaking before he started of after he started?? I do knot know, but the bearing was pretty well cooked.

 

Was Extruckerswife's formertruckerhusband aware of an unsafe condition?

Now that's just hysterical. Really the whole reply had me giggling a lot, but truly this one line almost made me fall out of my chair~!

 

OMG, now this one I just HAVE to steal~!!! Perpetualvictimitis seems to be hereditary, with no known medical cure available. ROFL~!!!
