[QUOTE="cosmo1, post: 1468362, member: 13442"] Here's a problem. Not to disparage any mechanics, but there are/have been roll-aways caused by old or faulty equipment that have been blamed on the driver. Years ago, we had a driver covering car wash doing a B-wash (the weekly clean/spray the cab out) on an old GMC 400. The truck was in the building, brake on and in first gear. While he was washing another truck, he heard a starter motor. The water from the spray had splashed the ignition switch and caused a short, the parking brake in this particular truck was known to be sketchy and the truck went out the door (open), across the street and finally stop on an embankment beside a parking lot. They tried to blame and fire the driver, but our mechanic stepped up and placed the blame on management for keeping the old POS in service. [/QUOTE]
