[QUOTE="watchurbck, post: 155309"] It's all about #'s not safety. In the 15 years I've known my husband (he's a pkgcar driver), his "accidents" have been... in a 500- tread flying off & went sliding sideways down roadway. Was asked to drive 20 miles to get tire fixed. In a 500, axel breaking and seeing wheel slide out from rear of truck. Luckily he was in a residential area. In a 600 - brakes went out. Made it safely through intersection and brought safely to stop. Was asked to bring back to center. Asked manager if they would be responsible if there was an accident. "Well, No." "Well why would I drive this truck!" Refused! In a 600 - windshield fell in his lap. Again was asked to drive into center. Another time the fire ext. went off. Sprayed the entire inside of truck. Was not allowed to clean up. "Just drive, you'll be fine!" These are just the ones I remember. I know he doesn't tell me every situation. It's getting to routine & I can't do anything about it but listen & pray he gets home in one piece. [/QUOTE]
