ok so my driver got pulled into the weigh station and got 5 violations.. 1. 4600 over on his drives (my fifth wheel for some reason will not budge) 2. Log book violation (on his part) 3. Bald tire (I have 2 spares under truck) 4. Fire extinguisher (driver used it two days ago, she said we had to buy a new one) 5. No windshield wiper fluid (I totally lost the whole cap) she issued me almost $400 in tickets... an advice would be nice. I'm new to this but I know I have to pay the tickets. What's the best way for me to handle these violations so that my safety rating doesn't change?
When I bought the truck I was told the company had just replaced the fifth wheel... everything worked fine but now it's a problem. Is there anything I should check to see if I can get it to move? Or is there something I should replace? I'm trying to save as much as possible as I just had to pay $400 dollars on ignition repair .
Why not make the driver pay the tickets? If you weren't in the truck when it got these violations then you shouldn't pay them.
He's new, and we set up a payment arrangement already so I'm trying to cut him some slack this once... he only has one time to #### up, the next time it's on him fully
He's only had my truck since Monday, I seen it everyday before this because I drove. As for The tire, it isn't even actually bald but I sent someone to change it anyway. He is fresh out of "Prime trucking company" so I actually wonder what were they teaching him
The lady in the weigh station was truly being an ###, she shut another driver down because he didn't have 15 break and he's only been driving for 1hr when he got pulled over. She has 5 trucks sitting in the weigh station right now
