Hi,my name is Calvin and I live in California.Not sure if I'm in the right forum,but here it is.
I am a Truckdriver,been working for this Company for a while now(over a year). I've been driven the same Truck ever since I started.I work nights and the Truck get used also during the day.About 4 months ago I came into work and the Windshield had a crack all the way across.I went to my supervisor and reported it.I waited and kept going back.....well to make a long story short,it is still not fixed.Long and behold at the end of July I got stopped by the Highway patrol and got a Ticket for the cracked Windshield.Everything else was in order.I took the ticket to my Supervisor and he told me he would take care of it...wich I think he should have anyway,cause the Windshield is not my responsibility.
This morning I got a letter saying the Ticket has not been payed,I now have o go to court,probably get fined and probably have to pay this Ticket myself before it gets worse.This Ticket will probably also show up on my DMV and I never had anything on y Printout.Trucking is my lifelyhood!! I am so angry and furius...I want to spit nails. went to my Supervisor tis morning...and he gave methe same lame song and dance.....I'll take cae of it and I orderd a Windshield.To make matters worse,the Tags on the Truck expired last Friday....and I know they won't take care of it.This is really pissing me off.......if I refuse to drive the Truck,they fire me
if I drive the Truck...now with expired Tags and a cracked Windshield.....I am brakeing the Law.What can I do to protect myself...honestly,I wanna quit.But I have a family and can not afford to quit.I want this Ticket payed ( 290$) a fix it Ticket,and if I pay for it myself...do I have to dragg them to court to get my money back? Thanks for any help or input! Cal
