Trouble is that stretch of road has zero room for error plus a truck coming the other way you automatically move a bit to the right but as you said once that tire drops off the asphalt you’re gone!

That being said, I think your decisions to keep the employees is good. They will learn from their actions ,it will make them better, yes it cost you. That is a price we pay sometimes as business owners. They will not forget these events. Keep smiling.

Some places do require a mechanic to get his or her class "A" license before they can be hired. Again, I am so glad that no one was injured and also to know that the mechanic didn't just haphazardly climb into the truck in a careless manner. Thanks for the update, cool trucks also thanks for sharing! Good logic on the second part of the story, as you mentioned the drivers last 2 years of driving were darn near impeccable. Take good care~

And if they are any good at their jobs, they will also pass on what they learned from them. I know that I've learned much from hearing about what mistakes that other's have made and how they dealt with them. As always, you and yours are in my prayers and I hope to see one of your trucks on the road soon. I'm scheduled to go out to our 'Albany' site in the near future.

Here's a good one you will chuckle over as you said you grew up on a farm and possibly have driven a swather ( I guess the proper term is windrower ). Well years ago we had a middle aged mechanic come to do some work on warranty on our swather at the time and when it came time for the swather to be moved and tested he told me to run it as NO WAY was he going to get behind the wheel. He said he had a bad wreck with a farmers swather just a couple of years prior because he started it up and did not have the experience behind the wheel of one ever in his life and he turns the steering wheel and the swather spun around and the header smashed into his own service truck and he didn't even know how to stop what was going on ... he never wanted to relive that nightmare !. Again, a mechanic that knows how to repair the piece of equipment but does not have the experience operating one.

Ha. Yea. I have driven one. It was a haybine and yes they are weird and tricky to operate !!!!! Best way to learn is go out in an open field …..

@@flintcreektransport Exactly, wide open spaces before a new operator gets behind the controls. Ironically the same applies to a truck ( dead end road or a large parking lot, lots of space to work with )

I work for a somewhat smaller carrier and though they don’t pay as much as some bigger companies they treat you like a human and they definitely don’t cap the amount of miles you try for….anyway I’m super new to trucking and had a small mishap with a delivery time and wound up being 20 hours late. Everything turned out fine and though not an accident it was a learning experience. they didn’t yell, belittle or punish me but allowed me to use the screw up as for what it was meant, a lesson. Truckers are product relocation specialists and adhering to timetables and schedules are a fairly large chunk of what makes a company successful so cudos to those who don’t just wipe and toss.

It says a lot about you as a person and a boss, giving both guys a second chance. It's hard to find good people, especially experienced drivers. I'm 63 years old, and I'm a third generation driver. I drove for 40 years but retired early because of an injury. I was very fortunate, I was only involved in one accident and that was when a drunk driver lost control and hit me head on when I was driving a fuel tanker loaded with 12,000 gallons of gas. Fortunately it didn't rupture the tank. I was back to work two weeks later, but as time went on after I went back, I also had a feeling that my luck was running out. Did I make mistakes ? Of course I did, but I learned from each one and moved on.

I think you made the right choice. No body was seriously hurt or killed. Thankfully the driver wasn’t doing the speed limit. It might have been much worse. LOL as for your son from what I’ve seen in videos he is a huge asset to the company. Just remember he can go home and tell mom if you fire him for no good reason and that could make life miserable.

Safe T Plus steering stabilizer....Pittsburgh Power Saxonburg, PA. Shop has to be set up to be "idiot" proof....only use those jacks where you have a non moveable barrier behind, in front. and both sides of them....all the training in the World can't prevent a "blond" moment....have to make that moment an impossibility. Haul out of Cargil near Ithaca ? A few years ago I was involved in bringing a rotary foundation auger drill there for their new air shaft. Neat operation, few realize where road salt comes from....deep under a lake.

The other day I made a comment in what my take away theory was on the shop incident and yes as it turns out I was correct in how it played out. I know some really were ragging on the person behind the wheel but I also realize that not all mechanics happen to have much behind the wheel experience to the extent of having a quick reaction in a situation like this. I also know and don't expect your trucks are ever in this condition but I have driven well used trucks from other owners that the gear shift rubber bushing assembly as well as the actual steel tower were so worn that one had no idea if it would be in gear or not by moving the gear shift ( it was an X logging truck used on bush roads which says it all ). As to the other incident, I can sure see that happening as he moved over slightly because here comes a truck around a curve and trailers always drop down into the curve so one gets used to compensating. No room for error at all on such a skimpy shoulder type road, no accident vs accident are mere inches apart !.
