Sad panda you need to act fast you should of acted faster.
Lesson learned if you are being intimidated from a dispatcher/stranded just call the dot/ state troopers fmcsa also has a complaint line that should be used.
theyl set them straight right quik.
Or at the very least youl have documentation for later use.
good luck with your case

This all brings back memories of the day I was toolin down I44 at 75mph
when the steering started to shimmy and shake as I was passin another truck, the next thing I knew I was on the right shoulder headed for the ditch with the brake pedal on the floor. Crossed both lanes twice nearly running in the median and ditch both times b4 I got her stopped
. Walked around the front to see the right steer tire leanin over like a bad dirt track set-up, the hub was smokin, the spindle was almost finger thin. The only reason it didnt catch on fire is because the mechanic that had just replaced the inner seals forgot to refill the hub
. The only thing holdin the wheel on was the weight of the truck sittin on it.......and dip(*&#...er dispatch wanted me to drive on to the next shop
.......yeah, right.
