What Has the Trucking Industry has become? People getting their information from sketchy trucking forums and Pilot bathroom stalls. Don't forget the Sharpee...

SKETCHY ????
The nerve!!! LolAll4Safety Thanks this. -
Paul Harvey and I are waiting for "the rest of the story" I find it hard to believe a 1-2 second spin would break a u- joint. I could be wrong, but seems it would take much more than that. Maybe if that 1-2 second spin was at 50mph, lol.

lolz.
I don't know if this is a company driver or a lease driver.
Also coming off ice onto solid surface while spinning will damage something. I think enough fuel is applied with quite a bit of power to find that weak spot which then snapped.
We used to carry spares U joints for the older trucks. Whatever happened to 5 days sitting around? Worst case scenario, drop the new joint in and go. I hate to be difficult. Especially these days when no driver should be a mechanic...
And I hope none of those piles of papers you signed at orientation will contain the necessary legalese you will now pay the 5200 in billing and so forth. takes me a couple hours to read and sign all those stacks of papers usually. Any one of them could be a deal breaking mine field detonating the possibility of continuing on working there.Airborne, jethro712, BUMBACLADWAR and 1 other person Thank this. -
or a reason to get him to quit

UPDATE.....Crete wants me to hire back on IF I pay half of the 5600. Nope. Wasn't my fault. Let me talk this down using common sense. Stay tuned. DAC report reads "eligible for rehire". Plus I have zero tickets and zero accidents on my driving record. I have some clout. To anyone out there reading this, let me give you some adivce--do what I'll do if Crete comes around on this. I won't sign anything that binds me to them. I'll agree on the "fee" and pay that. My max is about 700. IF I were to sign a form / indentured servitude contract, I'd be Mr New York City, Mr Los Angeles, Mr Chicago, with no way to quit. I'd have no choice but go to those places. No way. I'll pay them all of it up front and then go back to driving for them. And if they still insist on me paying 2800 of it, I'll tell them to go to hell. There are too many outfits out there looking for drivers (most of which suck, but they all do now anyway) to be chained down.
