Not to rag on you, but if you have equipment that you need to put oil in at every stop, you are just living on borrowed time. This equipment was already dead and needed to be replaced. You cant blame your guys for that. My policy is if you blatantly do something to ruin a piece of equipment such as wrong gas or running without oil then I am taking half the cost out of your check. Now if the equipment is already failing then thats a different story. Your guys need to be trained to call you anytime there is a problem NO MATTER HOW SMALL, so you can be in on the solution to protect yourself. They need to know that they wont be in trouble because we all make mistakes but that it is your money and YOU get to decide how its thrown on the ground, stomped on, covered with gas and set on fire!!! I only buy quality tools and equipment , no cheap stuff and my guys know this. If they want to continue to use the good stuff they will take care of it or I'll go to the flea market and get some $2.00 shovels and they can spend every night picking the splinters out of their hands.
3 trannies???? I would want to know from the mechanic why they failed. Same parts and problem all three times?? Too much weight for the truck?? Abuse by driver? Bad installation or low fluid etc.
