If you are a rookie you are going to have to check all the rules of big companies cause they can get you terminated with having tires blow out and if any one has a question on how they can do that I have the info so watch what you sign and get safety to go in to more detail on what they put on driversfacts cause you can do everything buy the book but they will not tell you in full detail

I've had 3,000$ cost in tire blow outs. It happens and I really don't see what you're getting at.

Jeff, from your previous posts you're obviously having problems finding work because of some incidents you've had with a previous company. But giving cryptic warnings and complaining that people are keeping you from getting a job isn't helping anyone, including yourself. You haven't told us what happened to you that is keeping you from finding work. You also haven't told us anything helpful or actionable in your warnings about what companies can do to you.

And finally, please proofread your posts before submitting them. It's hard to understand what you're saying a lot of times.

But from what I gather, you're claiming you were fired for having a tire blowout and now they've reported it to driverfacts.com (which I had never heard of til the other day, looks like it was built in '97, and gets almost no traffic) and now you can't find work. Is this the case? Would you like to explain what happened so we can either help you get your career back on track or help others with the information?

BMI:

Body mass index (BMI)

BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:

  • Underestimate body fat for older adults or other people with low muscle mass
  • Overestimate body fat for people who are very muscular and physically fit

It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.

Hah no way man! The only thing I pay out of pocket for is tolls but I get reimbursed on my paycheck. You'll never pay for any maintenance. Unless you lease of course.

Dude, I have no idea what you're saying again and at this point I'm not too sure you know how to make a sentence make sense.

Let me attempt.

You're saying that you wish the driver had to pay for that tire fix because hes just a driver? And that if you're honest it can go "wayside"? rofl-2.gifrofl-2.gif

I don't know how to respond so let me just explain how the procedure works when you get a flat.

Upon discovering a tire is pop you need to pull over and set up your three reflective triangles. Inspect the damaged area to ensure nothing else is damaged such as the rim. Next, contact your Over the Road Maintenance department (OTRM)and explain that you have a flat tire. Explain which one is flat, whether its a super single or duals, give them your exact location with MM #, give them your name and truck number and cell phone number.

Then they'll call someone out to fix it. After its fixed you simply sign a paper and the mechanic gives you a copy and turn it in with your next trippak. No other questions are asked and payroll doesn't ever get involved. Its simple and easy. They always pay.

So like I said, I have no idea what you're attempting to spell out but I hope that cleared any confusion you might have had.

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
