    You aren’t wrong. With the cost of inflation, labor rates through the roof, and the lack of work ethic from a lot of shop workers.

    Yesterday I sat at the Petro in Columbia, SC trying to get the starter replaced. None of the lazy POS wanted to do the work. They would rather change tires and do PMs .I could see the shop clearly from where I was sitting, every 20 minutes they were either outside taking a smoke break or playing there phone. I sat there for five hours as truck after truck that got there after me got pulled in before me. I finally said screw it, and brought my truck to a local shop near the house. I will drop it off in the morning, and let them fix it while I go home and finish preparing to move.

    Oh but there are plenty of other taxes and fees that offset that benefit. LOL

    That’s a sad time but probably very true. This country needs to get back to that time. Not just in trucking but many aspects. Small family farmers are in similar situations. Being unable to compete and larger companies buying up more land. Trucking companies swallowing up company after company resulting a fewer and fewer companies competing. The era of “family businesses” has been replaced and may never return.

    Freightliner givin me lip about covering some stuff that's supposed to still be under warranty. Nothing I can't roll with, so I'm gettin the other stuff taken care of and I'll roll out early am tomorrow. I'll have Shane contact them and dive into the warranty battle & come back again for that if the get their S together... always something!
