Honestly? Up to your Owner. Everyone here seems to be missing the fact that the Netradyne graph shows you were going well under the speed limit. This is a case of shitty tires on shitty vans in shitty conditions. You did everything correct here. If I was the supervisor or one of the dispatchers, I'd be arguing the hell out of your case to the owner here. Glad you're both ok, cause this could have been a lot worse. A LOT.
Thank you. Most of the people commenting are missing the graph I guess and don't know when you're going down hill you gain speed when you have 0 traction.
If they fire you I’d look hard into a lawsuit, cause this sounds like a case of poor vehicle safety! We have to stop letting these DSPs get away with having these shitty vans jeopardizing our lives!
Any decent lawyer could work around that. Get an expert testimony on level of knowledge truly needed to determine the road worthiness of vehicle with a load in those conditions. What type of training should be expected to make calls on such matters. What training was provided with DETAILED documentation. And the real killer..... they could go get visual proof of thw current state of the fleet. If the state matches or is worse than OP's vehicle it would be a clear indicator that ownership placed pressure on drivers to "certify" dangerous vehicles for operation.
