<p>[QUOTE="ChancesRGood, post: 7317581, member: 198670"]not sure this is bad enough but it is very nerve racking... when i worked for Schneider i had a team truck that after 1.5 months of use started gradually moving when parked... if you applied the breaks it seemed to stop but just having parking break on and turning off the truck didnt stop the truck from slowly moving an inch or so ... kinda like oozing down hill... even seemingly flat parking resulted in the oozing motion. my best guess was the slack adjusters on all the breaks or something but if you actually pushed the breaks with it turned on it would stop.... it is hard to sleep and my partner at the time we had a deal we drove 12/12 not every 10 hours switch... so for a couple of hours on each end we were parked... I would use chalks but he didnt typically ... he said it wasnt his truck... but i cared so i reported it and turned it in to maintenance when i quit[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
