The driver of the water truck damaged the gate of a property we own, just before winter so the repair could not be done at that time. The owner of the company was resistant to paying for the repair, but finally said they would make the repair in mid-May, and they left us a cheque to cover the cost of the repair, if they did not show up to do the repair. The cheque they gave us was dated for May, so of course we felt there was no good-faith shown by them, but they absolutely refused to make good in any other way.
They did not show up to do the repair, we deposited the cheque, and we were not surprised to find out today that the cheque bounced.
So, the reckless driving by the company representative caused a farm yard to not have a functioning gate all winter, and then they effectively left us hanging for the cost of the repairs, although they did the damage. They were very quick to ask for money when money was owed to them.
I would not recommend this company at all, since the driver was not careful coming into a yard to deliver water, and the company was not honourable in repairing the damage caused by them. read more
