    1. Driver are not engineer or mechanic.
      Unless they can prove he didn’t do the inspection.. it’s no way to.know bearing will brake

  1. I would love to see how a vehicule inspection could have help? I have done Inspection.. I wouldn’t know if the bearing are going to break!?

    1. If there’s no oil in the hub, the bearings will fail. Driver must check and make sure there’s oil in the site glass on the hubs. This one has a Chrome cover that mostly likely was never removed and checked.

  2. Ont cvse is pathetically under funded and a greater presence in the gta would improve upkeep and compliance. We’ve got massive swaths around major centers where theres little to no cvse enforcement.

  3. I work in a truck shop and feel very uneasy when around trucks. Not all shops are as bad as the one I work in but there needs to be more inspections with heavy fines going to companies and shops that do the work. Drivers are pushed to take loads even when they have safety issues with the truck, refusing the load until the truck is properly fixed doesn’t bode well for the driver.

  4. HOW DO KNOW WHEN YOUR BEARING IS BAD.I KNOW THERE IS AN INSPECTION COVER ON THE FRONT HUBS AND OIL IS SOPPOSE TO BE PRESENT WITHIN THE SIGHT GLASS.ONLY WAY I KNOW IS BY LIFTING THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND PULLING SIDE TO SIDE ON THE WHEEL.IF YOU HAVE ALOTE OF PLAY OR SOME PLAY ITS A TELL TELL SIGN SOMETHING IS WRONG.NOBODY JACKS THAT UP IN THE MORNING TO CHECK THAT NO ONE DOES THAT.

    1. Suppose to have Comm Vehicle inspection every 6 months in Sask. Drivers are suppose to check their wheels for hub oil.

    1. Honestly, I’m surprised that this name expert Cathie Wood , is mentioned here came across the testimonies of some of her clients last week on CNBC news, she seems to be doing extremely well….

    2. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for I will message her right away I want to invest ❤️‍🔥many friends makes lots through brokers

  5. That reminds me of that little boy that’s exactly looks like him ( driver ) that say’s “ apparently “ threw out the interview

  6. The company and maybe even the garage that did the last inspection should also get fined for that too because how’s the driver supposed to know if the bearing is going or if it’s low on oil unless he can see it. Would suck to be that driver!
