Jon, thank you for your reply, you hit right on the head. Very good advice, I guess I was looking for support from my peers. Our floors have been an issue in the past but most have bben repaired, what I didn't mention is all three axles were broken the same month! The month before this happened our safety department was preparing for an upcoming corporate safety audit. With that all operators had be compliant (most were not) so they had to follow safety rules. This really upset them, hence machine damage. After the there temper tantrum they did really well following the rules. Our audit took place Feb. 08, and we passed. At that time our damage was minimal, but since damage per month has risen to an all timme high in May. I know they can work without by following the rules but choose not to. To me it's all about sustanability, which would work but it has to start at the top. I really appreciate all the input from you. it means a lot when it comes from someone in the know, thanks again, Dave.
