After talking to the driver above Allan and the driver walk out to the parking lot to check out the Treadle Valve in the driver’s truck and as you can see this Treadle Valve is ready to cause an accident at any time. Notice the corrosion at the pin and under the plunger. (There’s your ticking time bomb!! ) The truck is a 2014 Peterbuilt!

Allan is hoping to bring awareness of the dangers of the TREADLE VALVE if it is not working properly to all drivers and others who share our roads and highways. Precious lives are being lost everyday, please help Allan in his continued efforts to help make our roads and highways SAFE!!
Allan wishes to thank all the truck drivers that were more than willing to participate in his survey.
