I could not last 3 weeks

Did you ever talk to Ozark Motor Lines?

 

As soon as they dont do what they first promised, its time to leave. They value you or your gone. An employee gets paid at the end of the week or your gone. You do not make enough as a driver to take financial, and or legal risks. You do know they will convict you for manslaughter for killing someone with a truck with faulty equipment.

 

I hear exactly what you're saying.Company before last had horrible equipment.Many times I was on the side of the road waiting for brkdown.Told my boss I refuse to drive it even to the next exit..They give drivers crap to drive ,they deserve to pay for rd brkdown.I refused to even try to fix anything.Made boss mad many times.

 

The court doesnt care when you knew, just that they are going to hang you.

 

I thought Arnold was owned by US Xpress.

 

No need to ask for details. The fact is, regardless of when they progressively occurred, you were knowingly continuing to drive an unsafe CMV with known problems, from where you first got in it.
The DOT, law, or courts won't care if they happened all at once, or progressively.
As for your failed brakes, why did they fail? Was it something that should have been discovered in a good pretrip?
I've rarely seen any brake issue that is not able to be revealed in a good pretrip.

 

crazy situation .... it is their truck. you can park it and let them tow it to their yard

 

Missjhawk, before you get all defensive, think about why many of us are critical over things like this, It is far easier to get another job but when you face a lawsuit and then have to deal with losing your CDL, house and any assets, you will get the idea how serious this is.

Next time - think.

 

Thread kinda backfired lol.

How are you mad at someone else's opinion on a public forum..? 😂😂😂
