Is there any evidence of the employer defending the driver?
Not that I saw.

Another national company using a certain group of drivers, prepared to work for below award rates.
One tyre is bad enough not the whole set missing. There would have been massive sparks that side.
I’ve seen this…
Before in the US and the EU. There must be some reasoning in Sparky’s head that this is the best course of action.

The driver drove for 80+ Kilometres(50+ Miles) and had ample places to pull over safely.
Thanks for that. Interesting!
Is the manager just trying to protect the company’s reputation?
Or seriously thinks an issue could get that bad before it needs dealt with.
I obviously have no knowledge of a B double (whatever that is) how noticeable would it have been?
My old boss would have ripped you a new a-hole if he caught you screwing the trailer around in a tight circle never mind laying waste to three alloys & tyres.
Stories are like ■■■■■■■■■ everyone has one.
It does look like the damage was done over a considerable distance, but how much distance would be required to do that much damage?
It seems the company is backing the driver and saying he wasn’t at fault.
Not sure I believe the 80km story tbh.

Very noticeable, you couldn’t miss it if you tried.

And he tried very hard.
You wouldn’t think that a petrol station was a very safe place to pull into with sparking rims let alone them being red hot which they must have been

Those look like alloys. They don’t get red hot like steel wheels would.
They would not have lasted 50+miles, before disintegrating and running on the brake drums.
