A bad day.

Good job backing it down. While its in the shop have them fix the low air alarm i never heard it go off.

 

I've been put in some unique situations where I had to get crafty to get a bush fix to get out of there but never anything like that. You didn't do too bad for that. The wheel issue. You know better so I won't say anymore about that.

After reading your last post it is time to move on from that guy. He will do nothing for you. If you get a ticket for running his stuff like that it will all be on you and he will deny all of it. Don't put yourself into that situation ever agian. You license is worth more to you than that.

 

Reconnect that alarm or get out of that company. I think it's a DOT required for that alarm to work. Even the most basic newbie knows this.

Im not here to give you a hard time more than what you had. Im sorry you are stuck in a box that is fixing to hurt you more than ever. Hop out. Go run for someone else who will maintain the equiptment.

 

Makes me glad I haul oil in Texas and not North Dakota.

But seriously, this is why I'll never haul for an Owner Operator.

They're too cheap to fix stuff.

Those wheels are a threat to your life. Even if they don't kill you a DOT will fine you massively.

The OO won't pay the fine;you will.

They'll say you never should of taken the truck in that condition.

Im not military (Deafness) but I consider myself a Marine Kid. A Marine Officer infused some of his ethics off from Korea onto me long ago.

 

Do you have hazmat? I worked for a guy who ran 5 newer trucks hauling crude in stanley. Pay was about 2400 week.
