I had informed my boss that this 'boat anchor':censored: truck need not be in service for which we use it. I advised him of what the shop had informed me of...to which his reply was 'what do you want me to do? crap a tractor right here for you or what?' If the shop says its ok to run ...then its ok to run. Well, thats true if its running in the city or in the yard to be a shift tractor...not a road tractor.[/FONT] [FONT=Comic Sans MS] We as Drivers must be vigilant in letting our Supervisors be made aware of our equpiment issues...even if we have to but heads about it from time to time.
