[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 4944357, member: 42554"] Please. You don't understand, at all. Have you EVER asserted your rights under the STAA? It's obvious you didn't read any of the cases. The mechanic is not driving the tractor, I am. I have the Out of Service Criteria on me at all times and won't be backing down. Again, it's obvious you haven't read those. Service DOES NOT FACTOR into safety decisions. Not ever. No not even if it's an iPhone. Don't believe me? Find me one mention of service in the FMCSR (which you obviously have not read). I've schooled many a supervisor on what can go on road and what can't. Oh just one marker light is out on that air trailer? Sorry, they all have to work before it goes on road. Leaking an unknown liquid? Sorry that's a rehandle. I don't care if it's a hot load. Defroster doesn't work in that Package Car... in July... in Phoenix? Yup, red tagged and reloaded with all my air late MULTIPLE TIMES. No operative window washer fluid bottle? RED TAGGED. Missing/defaced FHWA sticker? To the shop I go for a replacement. I'd love someone in management like you to challenge me on this, I already won my OSHA case. OSHA doesn't like being ignored. Here's the rub- SOMEONE HANDLED THAT EQUIPMENT BEFORE ME! That's who failed and is causing the missed service, not me. Of course we don't have this kind of issue in Arizona Feeder, our management errs on the side of safety and have for years. In fact, the bar is even higher in the planeload of iPhones you mention. Bash an extendo into the side of a plane trying to load an air can? It's red tagged until they properly repair it and it's certified airworthy, no tape patch like you'll see on a trailer. Duct tape doesn't fly. Every driver has been trained and is qualified to make safety determinations on the items they are required to check during a pre-trip. Your qualifications to sound off on this topic are highly suspect. [/QUOTE]
