That is a fair question. That unit didn’t have one. Someone had solid welded that pipe to the muffler, no flex coupler of any kind.

you can solid weld it as many times as you want, that vibration is like the tide, it will eventually win every time
and pipe support will help at least keep it kind of where it belongs when it fails
But I have worked in an industry where they just want it fixed fight now and don't care about precative maintenance, only reactive maintenance, it is frustrating

Dang! A mixer that still has both its wheels/hubs
These are replacements
The orginal ones kept blowing out 
. You can barely see the angle Iron that mounts the axle in that picture, the one on the other side tore off and had to be repaired.

All my trailers have the same plug as the truck. I make double ended coil cords for 7s and 4s. I keep a spare of each in the trucks and a spare on the trailer.
Burned another new truck down at work. 2023 electricians truck. Shorted something out and when the smoke started rolling he emptied his fire extinguisher into the smoke then stood back and made phone calls while he watched it turn to liquid. Safety guys are praising him for doing what he was trained to do. Stand back and watch it burn instead of risking injury/death trying to put it out.

So the electrician shorted something out on the truck? Or it just happened due to shitty design?

LMAO is that area of the yard the Lot Of Shame?
My guys have taken to putting giant band-aids on all the dents they put in the trucks. On one hand it's funny, on the other hand they're my fucking trucks

2nd one in two years
the official statement is that the evidence is destroyed. I think dude messed something up. Or whoever installed some of the add ons got an un fused power wire where it could arc out and make fire. All of these trucks get inverter’s installed. Here’s a pic of the middle of my floor. That red exposed connection is direct connected to the pos terminal on the battery.
Yes, shame pile. Company is self insured so they eat the cost of these incidentsLMAO is that area of the yard the Lot Of Shame?

Looks like with a little paint you can move that bumper/guard combo over to the one with the front pushed in...
Seems totally safe! Honestly surprised the company has only lost 2 trucks.Here’s a pic of the middle of my floor. That red exposed connection is direct connected to the pos terminal on the battery.

Seems after losing a couple trucks (or even one) it would be money ahead to throw a gas can and a honda 2000W generator in each truck2nd one in two years

You want people who can't be bothered to keep metal off that terminal or throw tape on it if they can't to be pouring gas in a truck bed once or twice a day?
I don’t want that shit in the bed of my truck. Even more crap to maintain, worry about people stealing while I’m asleep. The inverter works fine for hundreds of guys every day. I bet more guys would burn their truck down with a gas generator than the inverter

Shit JR, amazing how it burns everything on that truck. Do you have to repair the environment where it burns?

i bought a 17 that was burned bad, it was the only one i had ever seen that got so hot it blew up the drive shafts.
Yes ish. They use a back hoe to scoop up anything that doesn’t slide up onto the roll back. They make all the black disappear though, in a year or two it’ll resolve itself
Our safety guys would have a field day with that install... And no one would be driving their trucks until it was fixed.2nd one in two years

I imagine the truck would be towed outside of the environment.

That’s silly. What metal is going to be down there to cause an issue? I’m not wearing spurs. I use jumper cables every single day and batteries with fully exposed posts and cables. Rarely is there an issue to report
