The owner of the company I drive for still gets into a truck to make deliveries even though he's semi retired. Grab a trailer from our yard in Ohio going to North Carolina. Trailer has an ABS fault when I hook to it. Usually you run a few miles down the road and it will clear on it's own.
Road service call me about 10 minutes after I left and informs me that they not only know about the fault, the owner himself reported it when HE PULLED THE TRAILER. Instead of taking it to a shop for repair, he drops it and leaves it for the next driver to deal with. Here's the problem, I get paid by the mile. Any time I sit waiting on repairs is unpaid unless I sit more than 24 hours.
So not only did the owner ignore his own company policy he left faulty equipment for one of his drivers knowing they wouldn't get paid while it was in the shop.
