[QUOTE="pickup, post: 1851376"] I've been through that situation as well. I do a pre trip and see antifreeze leaking at a slow but constant rate. I got a four hour ride ahead of me and I walk back with the truck written up and I get the biggest stink eye from dispatch. They should be thanking me , not acting like I screwed up their whole day. They say it's a "hot" load as if that should somehow negate the fact that the tractor has an antifreeze leak. I wish they would have a more long term look like I don't know maybe a 2 and 1/2 hour horizon . Maybe they can come to the conclusion that the tractor will either overheat or shut down on the highway and that "hot" load will get awfully cold while I wait for a mechanic for 2 or more hours. I do stand my ground as well because had I taken the tractor and it did break down in that fashion, then I wouldn't have much ground to stand on at all. [/QUOTE]
