I Sensed That Something Was Wrong With My Truck.   To Be More Specific, Something was wrong with my brakes.   Thus, I was driving slowly, when my truck spun out of control and starting going backward.   My speed  was only around 50.   I spent 1 month with my truck in a repair shop in Ohio, and I resided in Michigan.   I spent the month checking on my truck, traveling to Ohio on my own, and eventually turned the truck back in Wi.    They did a quick assessment blame everything on me, saying that I probably panicked.   I told him it wasn't even possible , since I was Ex- Air force
Maintenance Specialist, having made Sgt. inside of 18 months, and placed over 5o men my first week of service.  Next, I had several awards as a highly decorated fire-fighter in my state, including an 18 month old child I rescued without any gear, and ended up in the hospital for a week, getting all the glass out of me.   They fired me, told my $1200, and tried to put me on the bus.   That's when I went off!!   and the Police had to be called.   I get robbed, and I have to do the time of
one year in my home state of Michigan, without pay!    Oh, Mr. Marten told me that he had over 400 drivers with the same problem from the trucks.  Showed me the stack of terminated drivers on his desk.   My guess, cheaper to get rid of driver, and steal from them, than fix the tractors.

For starters, if you are having brake problems, YOU PULL OVER. You DO NOT DRIVE AT 50 MPH!!!!...THAT is NOT SLOW. You stated you "SPUN AROUND AND WENT BACKWARDS". If you "spun" you were driving too fast for conditions. Not too mention, it does not take a month to repaire brakes. And what does your suposed history with a fire department have to do with driving for Marten? And Air Force?..... I have been driving for 12 years. And a trainer for 11 of those.

 I agree with you. As for Randy Marten and his company, they are clueless, fire happy and feel they are always in the right, even when they are in the wrong. I would file a complaint with OSHA at the very least.
