I could not last 3 weeks

Did someone call for me ? JK

 

Sorry but I'm not talking about just the brakes, I am talking about everything you posted. No matter how you want to defend yourself with this, the pre-trips should be just the first thing you do in a long line of checks and decisions.

So here is the problem, you should not left the dealership in the first place. No power steering isn't an issue, but exhaust leak is a BIG issue, that is where you can do more than just hit a few cars. Then you have the leaking oil, that's also a big problem because that does effect the brakes and yes that would be a predictable result - oil on the brakes, brakes become ineffective.

 

No power steering can be problematic if you get a truck with a smallish steering wheel. Really gives you an upper body workout maneuvering.

 

The way the law reads, truck or load on the truck, as soon as you leave whatever property you picked the truck or load up,it's your baby. You are 100% responsible.

I say this: If you, according to the law are 100% responsible, you are the captain of the ship. The captain goes down with the ship, not the owner of the ship.

"What if they fire me?"

What if you quit?

How in the heck does a company driver draw a negative paycheck? I thought only lease operators could do that.

 

Too many no's.

Was the money on the card? If they give you money and take the money back, the balance should be ZERO on your phantom paycheck. Its odd how one person can "forget" to submit paperwork, yet payroll can still process you a paystub. Sounds like the old 'robbing Peter to pay Paul' scenario if this happened to multiple drivers.
