[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 2159721, member: 52978"] I was in the yard shifting in a mule one night and the dispatcher told me there was an overflow that had to go north of town. He told me it was a hot load. He threw me the keys to a tractor and told me I had to leave NOW. Don't even pre-trip. When I got to the meet point about 150 miles later, there were several other drivers from my building that were already waiting there. One of the guys saw my tractor and asked me if they had fixed the flat. He said he had turned the tractor down because he caught the flat tire on his pretrip. He told the dispatcher, and the dispatcher gave him a different tractor to drive. The SAME dispatcher that gave me the tractor, knowing it had a flat dual tire, and specifically telling me NOT to pretrip it. He endangered my life and the lives of anyone on the road just to move a hot load. Yeah, I should have done a pretrip, but didn't. Lesson learned. [/QUOTE]
