    If your driving any truck no matter where it is that has safety issues its and involved in a wreck you the truck driver will be in major trouble period. The truck driver should have never got in the seat of that truck with safety issues going down the highway endangering others.

    Be very careful at the advise you hand out, it might just cause the death of one or more people. That person might say that ezover on Truckers Report told me that it would be OK. they they investigate to find out who ezover is them hold ezover responsible.

    No that probably will not happen yet bad advise can be a very bad thing & cause lives to be lost.

    Update:

    Truck broke down on Friday and had to be towed. Steering gearbox went out. They are replacing the tires as well. Air leak has been fixed.

    Best part is, I had a job interview with US foods! The guy liked me and sent me for a dot physical and drug screen. Road test is tomorrow! I hope that means I have the job!! Wish me luck!

    To the OP, get another job. I wouldn't worry about your dac report, worry about your CDL and your lively hood. If you have an accident, you are on the hook for every item that you mentioned and then some.
