    The line you notice around his ankles were his steel toe Timberland work boots that saved his feet. A fathers day gift from his children. Thank goodness for those boots.

    Calm down. We get a lot of lawyers posting on here who are trying to dig up facts for lawsuits. A little more explanation in your first posts could have avoided any misunderstanding.

    Well I hope if you are a driver or a staff member or a person that could help save massive injury to drivers across the roads you would be kind enough to allow this safety issue to be spread everywhere these drivers are. There are multiple drivers on other platforms that were not aware and some have been burned. These CDL drivers may step into a front loading cement mixer truck designed by this manufacturer or other manufacturers with similar design and might not step back out at the end of the day. My family member leaped from his truck in motion because he was being burned and boiled alive. People see something need to say something in order to make this world and the drivers in it safer. Thank you. PS I am calm you need to slow the thread to reach the people who trust in your forum. Stay safe and free of potential injury. Make these drivers aware please.

    Yes inside not protected by anything, by the floor kind of under what you would consider the dash. They are the exposed hoses you see when entering the truck by your feet area.
     
    Badmon and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    If you are a CDL driver please pass along this knowledge. The more the hazard is out there the safer the drivers will be. I cannot explain the severe injuries he suffered. The picture posted is months after he spent about 6 weeks in. Burn unit. The picture of the bottom of his legs and feet they were protected by a new pair of Timberland steel toe work boots. He had just got them for a Father’s Day gift from his children that year. The doctors and burn unit team stated he would of lost his feet if it had not been for those boots. So put that information out there. I’m try to find out the exact boot style. Thank goodness for those Timberlands. Thank you
