[QUOTE="RoadSideDown, post: 11208205, member: 314577"]Hi, I am a new Class B driver. Worked one year for school district that was fantastic with bus safety and upkeep. They always had spares available in an assigned bus had a problem. I am taking another job and looking to get my Class A school later this year and get on with a line haul outfit. How do you guys handle truck maintenance issues if the company tells you to drive on or ignores the problem? Doesn’t that put your CDL at risk if there is a breakage on the road or an accident ? Do you drive even with a failed pre-trip or do you refuse until they fix or substitute? Or does their direct order remove the responsibility from you? Something like a front tire could be your life in the balance, or other breakage could injure other motorists.[/QUOTE]
