    the company i drive for has over 6,000 trucks and over 15,000 trailers and we are not allowed to use the ta/petro for any reapirs/pm's at all.

    had to sit at the flying j last week waiting on roadservice to show up and fix some trailer light when the ta was across the street......

    i've had 5 repairs done in the last year at ta and 4 times they broke something on my truck broke a leveling valve doing a frontend alignment, miss installed centramatic's, fixed a/c (had to be repaired again because they did it wrong), changed a wheel seal and broke a abs sensor.......

    I know. Its not the point. They feel comfortable selling those to truck drivers. Her exact words.

    Wow.
    Sorry to hear of your misfortune bud. I NEVER leave MY truck when they are doing a PM. Infact, the Petro in Milan NM did my last one, along with a 3 box change too. They MADE me remove the ignition key and then they ziptied it to the mirror with a red tag on it.
    Seeing as TA and Petro are now the same entity......
    I feel for you, but I have yet to have any shop start my truck when working on it. Of course, that could be due to the German Shepherd that rides with me too:biggrin_25523:
    Either way though, I have yet to have any shop besides the dealer start my rig.
    As for the food part.....I never look as I dont eat the crap.

    He joined the forum march 2012.
    He could hardly have "bashed" T.A. immediately after the alleged incident occured,since he was not a member then.
    Not every single person who drives a truck knows of the existence of this,or all trucking forums.
     
    AfterShock and volvodriver01 Thank this.

    How is it that you have had 5 repairs in the last years at TA but yet you are not allowed to use TA for repair?
