Ever heard of a cracked floor???

You have a problem. A dangerous one.

Reason I say that is a old 9600 yellow paystar eagle daycab stretch framed tractor assigned to me by B&B Concrete of then west Little Rock had the floor riveted a few thousand times to stay on the cab. No airride no nothing on that plated I-30 that caused one of my disabilities in time.

One day after she shook too much the entire floor and everything attached to it including me dropped out over a foot down to the frame at 70 mph.

I had a real life and death problem and had a few moments to come up with a solution to save my own life. shaft was right there, pedals down and all that. Fire wall failed and so on. Drives wanted the back of my cab.

Let her drift to a halt on a slight upgrade. Near a truckstop, crawled in parked and called for a tow no ifs buts or maybes, it's scrap junkyard value.

What did that stupid employer do?

Rivet another 10,000 reattach and stick me back in it. I knew that day no matter what I want out. I got out.

My replacement was in that thing pumping the bulk as I walked past him one morning to the car I told him, the floor dropped out of there with me in it a time prior in recent weeks. Thats why I am going home.

His eyes got this big. He already been down to hope to get cement from the railroad and brought it back he knew #### well what I was saying. I think he quit also.

Why? My previous trainer quit when the Boss denied the daytime pete with airride to be given me after he got hurt from the shaking. Got too old or something he left. I did not get the pete and was stuck back in the punishment truck. No problem until the floor fell out.

Weights usually with fly ash was as much as the tank would hold 130000 some days. That poor truck almost broke getting out of red-field onto I-530 One day the rear end did break causing a fatal 10 foot wheelie. She slammed back down and the drives were destroyed comprehensively internally.

Im not here to complain. It's over with 21 years ago. Part of my disability is from that.

YOUR floor needs expert repair back to factory spec. You might find a replacement cab body swap from a good junker truck a better savings.

PS they replaced the internals on the drives and had the gall to treat me like a 21 year old child trainee from school not able... That was the final nail in their coffin. I was in my 40's and drive a pile of old iron better than that lethal POS. IF the managment are so stupid and limited in hate and verbal abuse, then it is good that the property was eventually barren a few years later.

 

Post some pics of the damage

 

Freightshaker???

 

you should have done a truck rigdig report. i thank you have bought a wrecked repaired truck

 

Shouldn't be that hard to repair. Basically lift the cab and repair hole and cover with something wider and stronger. Kinda like when a jack sinks into the dirt, you get a bigger base for the jack to sit on and it doesn't sink

 

I don't think I've ever seen that. Since there's not a lot of corrosion, I wonder if this truck took a pretty hard bump somewhere. I don't see a big problem, jack it up and put a plate in there, but like I say, unless the truck was a rustbucket, I've never seen a mount punch through the floor like that.

 

If it took a crash hard enough to do that, there will be more damage else where. It might have had some previously repaired, time to get a different mechanic to inspect the whole truck and see what you have before fixing it.
