I sent my email [Saturday around noon time] to them and several hours late I got call.. I didn't hear the cell ring because since I worked on Friday, up at 1245, at the yard 0128 and on the road at 130. Then worked till I got back on the yard around 2114 that night I was beat.! So they left a voicemail, I listened and it was my loads for Monday. Guess they haven't got my email or never looked at it, yet.
Need some insight here

Hey Taino, do my family a favor and call *FHP and report these clowns. FHP took over FDOT.
Taino Thanks this. -
I'll see what happens today, no big deal. Monday got to meet with a Safety Supervisor for a local job and also heading over to another local company.

Sounds worse than the place I work.

Tread on the steer axle tires cannot be less than 4/32nds of an inch or it is DOT out-of-service. Tread on drive axles cannot be less than 2/32nds of an inch or they are DOT out-of-service.
.
.You check the truck for an air leak with the engine off and the brakes off for one minute. More than 3psi in a tractor trailer is out-of-service. Engine off and brakes fully applied for one minute and it loses 4 psi or more the truck is out-of-service.
.
Recently there was a safety check of commercial vehicles on the highways. 1 in 7 trucks had an out-of-service brake condition [see www.thetrucker.com].
.
When I started my current job, my jerk boss threatened to fire me because I refused to drive his truck which had a major air leak. I told him go ahead and fire me. I will go to the unemployment office and have them report the unsafe trucks being dispatched to the state DOT, state police etc. Told him tomorrow morning the state police would be at the front gate to do DOT inspections on every single commercial vehicle in the yard. Told jerk have a nice day and I would insure that every state,county,township,boro,local cop and meter maid would be pulling over every company truck and checking them out
today. Maintenance issues with the truck result is a hefty fine on the company. Well the mechanics quickly talked the jerk out of firing me. My cdl license is my livelyhood. I ain't doing nothing stupid to lose it.
