[QUOTE="Fishbulb, post: 231369, member: 10981"] i hate the mechanics on our building, i seriously do. i'll give 3 examples why: I'm out on a route one day & the sensor thingy on the dash wont stop beeping, the alternator light on it was blinking non stop. I write it up in the DVIR. Come in the next morning expecting it to be fixed, the mechanic just took the sensor thingy out of the truck completely & left bare wires hanging. Unbelievable! Example 2: This just happened today, covered a route for someone who called out sick. I'm filing out the DVIR at the end of the day & noticed a few pages back that the regualr driver had asked the mechanic to move the mirrors up a little, the driver is about 6'2 & the guy who had the route before him was only around 5'4 in height. I figured it would be no big deal for the mechanic to do that, grab a wrench & spend 10min to adjust the mirrors. Mechanic wrote back in the DVIR "The mirrors are where UPS wants them to be". What a d***! Another time I was shuttling late airs out to drivers & the truck broke down at food store where I met one of the drivers. Truck was backfiring everytime I started it up & the throttle was stuck so that everytime I put it in gear it would jump & start revving the engine uncontrollably. Clearly a safety hazard to myself & others on the road. Mechanic refused to come out even though I was only 15min from the building.
