[QUOTE="Redtag, post: 4257706, member: 70933"] Didn’t see your response until just now. I don’t send trucks down the road with broken springs or other safety items and none of the other mechanics at my hub would do that either so yeah, I am a bit skeptical that the guy would be stupid enough to risk his job like that, because if you got into a accident and he ignored that write up he would be gone, and he would deserve to be gone. With that said... If the mechanic left a truck on the road with the leaf spring cracked you should take a pic of it and refuse to drive it, broken at the shackle and at the u bolt? Was it missing a leaf? Anyway, If the mechanic is knowingly allowing trucks to go on the road with failed FED items that is something that needs to be addressed with management, don’t think they would not ask why did you take the truck if you saw the spring was broken crap should you get into an accident. The reason I posted what I posted is a lot of times we get requests for stuff on writups will no explanation of what the truck is doing and then when you find out what it’s doing a lot of times it’s not related to the repair requested. Wasting time Replacing good parts and or trying to figure out why the driver thinks it needed that repair takes time away from the other 34 package cars in my assigned fleet. I know a lot of you guys think we don’t want to fix the trucks but if you worked in automotive you would realize that We simply don’t have the time to keep the trucks in the condition we would like, we have to prioritize the best we can. The funny thing is management gives us the OT this time of year when we have the least access to the trucks, then in January when we should be getting everything in shape they cut our OT to zero and we don’t have the time.
