[QUOTE="dilligaf, post: 319817, member: 11476"] You do know that as drivers we have the right to refuse to take unsafe equipment out on the road. It's as much our responsibility as it is the mechanics. I have refused to take a truck out that is unfit for service. It's my job and part of DOT requirements to make sure that truck is fit for service. No I am not a mechanic, but there are certain things that I can do and am required by law to do. If I fail to do a proper pretrip and miss something then it's my fault and I refuse to allow the company to put me in a position that could cost me my life or someone elses. I am glad to hear this mechanic stood up for what was right and we need to have more mechanics like him that will not bow to the wishes of the company in the name of numbers. [/QUOTE]
