I have to tell a story about my so called brilliant company, so might as well be here...
We had a truck yesterday literately fall apart, a weld on the frame broke open. and collapsed the frame.
The brilliance was it started life as a single axle truck, got the frame extended and a second drive put on. Not too bad a ting really, but I'd not want to drive to. That wasn't the bad part, the company for some reason decided to take this tractor and plate it heavy haul 4-5 axle trailers and 105K pounds. Ok, not only am I surprised the frame lasted a few years, I'm surprised the motor and tranny could even get it up to speed...

That's hilarious. I got a buddy who works part time shop/washbay for a fairly large company. He was telling me about their new apprentice who tried to cut a couple crossmember bolts off a truck. They ended up scrapping the truck after the kid blew a bunch of holes through the frame with the torch
