    How much do you want to bet that the maintenance records on said tractor and trailers were “fudged” or mysteriously disappeared??;)

    I hate to make generalized assumptions but we’ve all seen gravel haulers driving. They’d drive over their own mothers to get another load in. I wonder how fast he was going to start with.

    Well if there was any dashcam footage it burned up along with the tractor!

    One mountain grade riding the brakes hard can put 80% out of adjustment. If untrained driver used same equipment a few days in a row brakes could all be shot imo . I remember about 20 years ago a company driver only made it to Merritt BC from Calgary before he needed a brake job on a tri axle that the brakes were new . His father taught him how to use the “ company brakes” he had driven 18 months on flat ground but his first trip through BC this happened.
