Adventures in Vehicle Maintenance

on 5/26 we were going emergency traffic to a call when our right front tire broke off and bent into the engine causing us to slide across into the on-coming lane. luckily it was late at night and there was nobody driving against us. we have a beat down fleet and are in dire need of new trucks. the Fords we have have over 200,000 miles and the suspension in all of them is a joke. it is getting embarrassing to explain to the pt's why the ride is so bumpy. you just can't run trucks like we do, hard and with no rest in a 24 hour period. something needs to change. also, my partner that night, JS, had just eaten a cupcake and that was 60% of the blame for the broken axle. junk. in. the. trunk.
