[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 749620, member: 4653"] I have been told this on more than one occasion to avoid a road call from the mechanic. Both times I made it through the day, but I think those days are long gone with telematics. Its funny though, I get a PCM about the threat of terrorists putting a bomb on my open truck (this is likely to happen as much as a sun beam passing a rooster. It just 'AIN'T' ) but its ok to prevent a costly break-down and road call. Which is fine with me, because we are all human and want to save money. We can sit here and criticize management for penny pinching and violating the contract to save a few bucks, however we are all guilty of doing it in our own personal lives. Before you jump down my throat for forgiving a contract violation, how many of us would seek a break from a police officer friend on a parking or speeding ticket? I know I have. Its the same thing-a direct violation of the law yet all humans look for away around it if they can. Its in our nature, isn't it? At the same time, you(my boss) needs to "get off your high horses" (yes, I meant to say 'horses') when I leave the door open for 2 seconds while I'm in the 7-11 and can see the truck from my position and not give me a warning letter. Is that fair? [/QUOTE]
