We drove a couple days and told the owner the brakes were bad and then again when we came in at the end of the week.When we left the next week we checked the brakes they worked ok until we were loaded, well to make it short ,I started down an on ramp the brakes failed I had to turn or run into a big ditch.Well you guess the result a roll over,my question is with such a small company would this be on my DAC report . I am not sure what to include on applactions now can any one help. :tears:
If the brakes were bad one week and then you came back to work and they were fine, does that mean someone fixed it, cause it couldn't have fixed itself? Did you ask to see if the truck's brakes were checked by a mechanic to ensure it was roadworthy before you started your workday?
