    What is the company name?

    Also also just an FYI people, if the brakes were worked on, it sounds like it wasn't a shackle issue but a brake issue that could have caused this.

    Honestly i think his piss poor mechanics had some play in the situation because after the accident my boss started acting shady like he was hiding something he wouldn't let my dad get a good look when i got my things out the truck

    Not necessarily. It all depends on the company you work for. Lol. There are companies out here that actually care about their drivers.

    Can't fix what the driver doesn't tell him about.
