First job I got when I moved down here to Oklahoma was a real doosie... I went to work one day and refused to drive 5 of the 6 trucks in the yard. Most of them had MAJOR brake and or steering problems or both (parts actually hanging from the trucks and or missing) and were (to me anyway) undrivable. I left with the only survivor (cracked windshield and all) and went to Dallas and came back to reload. I entered the plant and of course saw one of the trucks that I had refused to drive coming out of the plant. I stopped the guy and ask if the mechanics had fixed it... he looked at me like :?: . I popped the hood and showed him the brake chamber hanging by the hose. He just hopped back inside and drove away towards Dallas. I hooked to my next load and realized that the trailer was missing all of the lights and most of the fender (pnuematics) on the left rear and that it had THREE inside flats..
I unhooked from it and just drove to the yard and went home... This is one of the reasons that I laugh when I hear about companies that cannot find anyone for their "great opportunities".
nice company with trucks like that on the road. Hope you get a truck that is safe to drive. your life and life of others is more important than any money
