[QUOTE="x1Heavy, post: 5362374, member: 178676"]B&B Concrete of Little Rock had a 9800 Pay or Transtar conventional. It shook at any speed, closer to 70 your retinas sparkled because of the severity of viberations. Finally one fine day the freaking floor fell a foot out of the entire cab down to the twin rail frame exposing my feet to the spinning drive shaft, transmission and moving pavement below me at 75 on I30 about Alexandra to Hope in Arkansas. Scared to the point of being unable to think about how to work this problem I just froze and allowed the upgrade to roll the thing to a halt on the side. Crept to the next truckstop and sat there for hours while my plant dried up on cement they never got. Then I got angry. Combative even against the three bosses who runs the outfit. They stuck me in a autocar mixer and told me to shut up and stop whining. Two weeks later and a thousand more fresh rivits around that cab it showed up. Guess who it's for. Me. My attitude got really rebellious then. I recognized the classic signs of a dangerously disgrungled employee and at that time it only took one verbally expressed threat from one of the bosses there at 5 minutes before 6 AM opening (On the dot) to clock in to get back in my car and roll home. That was about 16 years ago. That was also the day I swore on all that's holy I will run new equiptment with full air ride and so forth for someone and never ever again touch that pos equiptment. To this day Im still suffering some of the effects of the shaking inflicted on my body, in those days no one knew enough to file medically against this company because there were at the time a attitude that you gotta suck it up and get back on the road big boy.. a little ache and sore does not stop people.[/QUOTE]
