This is the roll off truck that pulled onto a job site I was on. I do know the owner of the roll off company. I bet I would be a shoe in for his future welding work, if I gave him a free sample repair!!! I'm NOT bragging, but I KNOW I can do better than that!!!I have five posts, so please wait until I post "Have at it guys!", thanks!Drivers side front of fender. DOH! pic 3, welded to frame rail!"Where's Stick man????????" - 7A749"SHHHHHH!!

Reply:Who would think that is acceptable??...The sad part is whoever did that probably thought they did a good job...Well at least someone is gonna have fun with an arcair.
Reply:Must have been the owner who did that welding. Otherwise it is hard to imagine anyone accepting the welding or some of the material used. If my dog had a thumb she could do better.

Reply:man , thats some fine jury riggin right there . next time they should see if they can find a sink to weld on there right away . . the things people do amaze me . . well maybe not>Innovations are what i leave behind for History
Reply:qoute>>>>Like I said, I do know the owner. In the past I have solicited welding work from him, but he "has a (certain ethnic) guy" that does it. I know the owner did not do the welding.>>> qoute they might wanna practice there welding on non critical items and not on a frame>Innovations are what i leave behind for History

Reply:does Illinois have an inspection for trucks?? Judging by the pics I guess they don't....somebody needs to confiscate the welder from whoever did those excellent repairs!!

Reply:Wow. That is amazing, and not in a good way.Several years ago, we did a lot of out of state work for a company, where we had to haul a backhoe behind the dumptruck, and hauled a good sized bobcat in the dump bed. We did quite a bit in Indiana, and everytime I had to go up there (probably made about 6 round trips over 2 yrs or so), I'd try to time it where I would go thru Illinois in the middle of the night, because of the horror stories I had heard about the DOT up there. We were inspected in other states, with never a problem. But I always had a feeling that Illinois would be different from what I was told by several people, one of which lived up there for a few years. He said the State Patrol was about like the Gestapo. Luckily, I never got to visit with said officers. If I could find some more trucks to run with, that 150 miles of I-70 didn't take too long at all...

Reply:wow, I don't even think my rookie a$$ could screw that up.. lol!www.thefusionsolution.com
Reply:The company must stay local, I can't believe that truck has never been inspected! I'm from Mississippi and because of the logging/timber industry the D.O.T. is strict, and they will pull over all types of trucks for inspection.I got a feeling in that truck ever gets pulled over it will be deemed inoperable.
Reply:It was probably a mechanic that worked for the owner and the owner said just patch it, just patch it, just patch it. I have seen worse and probably drove worse, but now that I'm not green I never will again. One thing I learned working for that shady out fit was the is never enough money to fix it right the first time, but more than enough to do it right the second time. So when I bought my own tractor trailer I get it fixed all right the first time.We are on our way to being farmers!

Reply:This truck's owner seriously needs to weigh the cost benefit of paying for a good welding job versus the liability lawsuit he will face when that truck comes apart on the road and damages God knows what. Possibly even negligence in the death of someone.

Reply:Welds look like they were done with a truck battery, booster cables and coat hanger wire. Only scenario where these would be acceptable would be as an emergency repair to limp out from the back country (NOT on public roads) by doing the fix with...a truck battery, booster cables and coat hanger wire."These instructions are at our present level ofknowledge.

Reply:This is scary, I have been welding for 7 years now. Not caliming to be the best. But I have a buddy probably like this guy that thinks he can weld. I let him run my Miller Suitcase 12VS and thats about how the welds turned out, then comes the excuses,Some Blue , Some Red & Some GreyProverbs 16:2-3.2 "All a persons ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord. 3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans."

Reply:i think i know the guy who did the crap job cant call it welding but i worked with someone who welded just like that and he thought he was a great welder what a shame someone will get killed if parts or a dumpster falls off that thing
Reply:If the owner cared or wasnt a cheap A$$ that truck wouldnt look like it so dont get your hopes up on a new client. Theres a dump truck company near here thats run by money grubbers. THey buy trailers that should have been scrapped 20 years ago. They use the DOT rules that road building material haulers cant be pulled over unless theres a moving violation and then only the driver is fined not the owner. I work with an ex DOT worker. THe owners of the trucks are also kin to him. They have a poor safety record several drivers have been in accidents that involved fatalities. They are so cheap they run burned motor oil in the truck wet kits. Their trucks are night mares, I have seen them at local shops and know the owners well. THeir truck shop is just a patch job, but they have a ton of money invested in paint and bodyshop sections. I saw a trailer at a friends welding shop he was doing a repair on they had a trailer with a NuWay suspension the end of the pivot was broken off and had been off for a looooong time. THe only thing holding the bogey in place was the S cams on the brakes had cammed over and hung it in place. The Head DOT officer is an ex SOB highway patrol that Is the trucking companies safety training man. Also they make a big donation to the DOT every year along with a few paid hunting leases for them. Our trucks are in top condition with no expense spared on their maintenance and upkeep and we have to tip toe around them.
