    When you are forced to break a violation by intimidation the Dept of Labor can be your friend.

    Good for this driver!

    We need to see many more companies taken to task on the equipment they choose to operate.

    ANOTHER REASON why TFW'S should not be allowed to drive trucks.........they will be told "do it or go home" as we have seen by this companies are proven to be doing to domestic drivers.

    Before any of you super-truckers get any big ideas about "standing up to the man" ... better make sure you're worth you're trouble and expense before you go to challenging the carrier to send a service truck out to replace a tail light or replace a grommet or turn a crescent wrench a 1/4 turn. Sad thing is, the truckers I'm directing this message to probably don't even realize it pertains to them. LOL

    I carry my own tools, spare bulbs, fuses, hoses and belts.

    Most people do not even know how to wire a sliced pig tail let alone pick up a wrench.

    Unfortunately you are wrong, there is a well known case of a TFW taking H+R to the LB and wining. So lets quash more "the sky is fawling in maw" bs
