    Canadians are too kind, If happened in the USA. Everyone would of thrown him under the bus and then made them self a hero and patting co-workers on the back for saving the day.

    I'm guessing he probably didn't do a thorough post trip of the tractor after dropping the trailer, and check all the little boxes, and accurately record mileage, so . . .

    OFF TO JAIL WITH HIM !!!!!!!
     
    Derailed and Shaggy Thank this.

    Good job !! A True Knight of the highway. Seems extraordinary in todays trucking world but would have been the norm in years past. Good deeds are seldom recognized anywhere today.

    Forgot to use his EPA approved fire extinguisher and the Clean Idle / IFTA Sticker was burnt off. Definitely Jail time. Possibly prison for risking a catashrophe
