Just some of the stupid things I see

Nah...............there kinda like Doritos commercial a few years back...........they'll make more.

 

I don't know if some guys are just stupid or just don't give a rats arse. Had a guy today who was placed out of service for a brake issue on the side of the highway, a 2 lane road with a wide shoulder. Gave him the local garages and road service companies in the area. One road service/garage location was 1 mile away. I told him not to drive untiil it was corrected and had stopped anothr truck and was weighing it when I looked up and saw that fella hauling arse. Unfortunately for him, I didn't have to gather my toys and chase him, the handy dandy radio travelled the speed of sound. Another guy in my unit was about 3 miles from my location and he was headed directly at him. My partner stopped him and asked what the heck he was doing? First response," I had to use the bathroom." Second response " Well I was going to need dinner and I didn't want to sit there." And the weakest response of all, "My boss said the hell with it and to drive away." So, one driver arrested, 1 truck and trailer towed and impounded. One driver spending the night in jail. The quote when I dropped him off at the clink, "I was going to fix it when I got home." Then I stated, you were placed out of service in May 2010 for the same violation and in July 2010. "Well I didn't think you could find that information out. CSA will hopefully take care of driver's that act this way. Hopefully someone on this site can learn from others mistakes. Take care.
