Shift Inhibit
He who laughs last didn't get it.
It’s been nice working with you here on the brown cafèNEVER heard of this happening . Yes, dispatch would "try" to get drivers to take unsafe and tractors and trailers when they were up against the wall but it was the driver's responsibility to pre trip.
They knew which drivers would drive just about anything.
BTW there was one mechanic that was fired for disobeying a direct order. Not sure what the circumstances were. Rumor has it he would not pass the inspection on a hot loaded trailer. They had to unload it into another trailer the load missed service.
Of course the mechanic got his job back.
