Act of moral turpitude need help

If it was parked in their yard why would they need a wrecker to recover it? You had one choice, park it at whatever address is on your log as your home terminal. Anywhere on the planet but there it was abandoned on the road and had to be recovered. They don’t even have to steal your money if you hand it to them. Why was that trailer loaded before you found the tire? Pretrip from the left seat when you pinned it? Not saying it wasn’t handled poorly on their part, but there were better ways to deal with it on yours. If they had given me attitude instead of a tire I would have written it up, pulled the valve core out of it, and drove it across the first scale I could find on the “so you want to be an ####### do ya” program. They would have been the ones standing in a bad spot then. As it is…

 

Morale tupitude is more like having sex with the family Labrador in the living room ( no lube ) in front of the children.

Lot of howling.

 

That pretty much sums up my thoughts.

I don't understand why the owner didn't send road service to driver location and have it replaced. Too cheap?

@Tripp68 - congratulations for doing the right thing, unfortunately the industry doesn't regularly reward doing so.

 

The real problem is you took it down the road without doing a proper pretrip. If you would have noticed this before you pulled off with it you could have saved yourself a lot of hassle.

 

So, the truck owner will spend $2500 to send a wrecker to tow the truck, but not $500 to send a mobile tire guy out with a retread.
What kind of business sense is that?

 

Good point.

 

It’s when a certain wabbit hunter sees a wobble

You sir, are warped at several levels! But funny!

 

That's true.
100% operator fault.
It should have failed the empty trailer
at pickup time when was touched the very first time.
Also the picture only shows a flat spotted tire.
Where is the rest of the scary part ?
No picture, no proof.
I'm not siding with the company, but,
quitting under load and abandoning the truck looks pretty bad.
Then there is the @kranky1 approach that I like it better.
He should have use it either by calling the nearest scale or driving there.
An AZDOT certified state trooper could have been called for help too.
Limp to a scale with a trooper behind you. And fix it there if needed.
