New to Prime INC - What to expect (Springfield edition)

Nah......I get enough satisfaction from seeing the rare few we have here that do make it through successfully. Feel I'm just doing my little part to help other's, same as I was assisted in the beginning. If somehow it helps change a life for the better, satisfaction enough for me just to see it happen.

Not that I expect it, do get thanked on occassion in threads. Most all the folks I have talked to in PM conversations have expressed their gratitude.

Except for Chuck T. You know he is the most ungrateful son-of-a-gun around. LOL

(Easy Chuck! I jest........I jest.....!)

 

Not really, maybe convicted a few times, though.

 

Yeah you're right that's why I do it too. I'm sorry I owe all an apology. I was just frustrated earlier. I pulled into prislc for a p.m. and something went wrong while priming the fuel pressure and I now have an MILS light on and active fault code for fuel pressure. The yard didn't have the freightliner software to clear the code. The last time the truck was in the shop at freightliner the mechanic wreaked the truck causing me a week of unpaid downtime. And the time before that the mechanic hooked up the air lines to new seat incorrectly and when I took it back to them to fix it well.....read the last sentence. And the time before that I was having my bunk heater reconnected after prime uninstalled their apu I don't know what the mechanic did to the fuel lines but ever since the band new apu I'd just had installed struggles to run for the first ten seconds or so almost as if its losing fuel prime. So now I've gotta take it back in because I know the way it is it's gonna gel up this winter if I don't get it fixed. I'm just frustrated and I feel like every time I get something fixed or upgraded on the truck the mechanic causes a new problem. Am I jinxed? Did I buy a cursed truck? Do I need to pray to the trucking gods more often? What am I doing wrong?

Ya we all know chuck t has nothing to be grateful for, like the way he's kickin some serious A. What did he say he's gonna break $62k this year. Not bad for first year driver. I wonder if he cares that so many say prime sucks, I'm kinda doubting it.

 

Kiss my !
Butt seriously, pretty much all of this.

I should crack $60k. If I am successful as an instructor, maybe a touch more due to less time in SpriMo. The slow trucks ain't bothering my pocketbook.

But really? Folks are saying Prime sucks? Lemme check on something real quick.

Nope. I have exactly the same number of f***s I did before their gums started flapping. Carry on.

 

You'll need to stop by your local witch and warlock supply store and pick up some sage to burn in a smudging ceremony to cleanse it of the bad spirits you have acquired. While in the process of completing that ceremony, light the driver on fire and the driver seat. That should resolve any issues with the truck and driver. Good luck on the cleansing

Sounds like you need ti find yourself a good reliable shop to use and stay away from Prime's shops.

 

Too funny! Think i'll skip the last step tho.

Man I'm working on it, I'm trying to build some relationships with shops, didn't think I would have this much trouble. I've learned that a good mechanic is worth their weight in gold.

 

I figured a little sense of humor would help lighten your day. I have a TA shop I like to use and know the mechanic there very well. He does one hell of a job and knows his stuff. There's another place I've found were the mechanics knows his stuff and that's in Texas off of the 287 and Wichita Falls, it's a mom and pop type of shop.

 

What place might that be? (Since I live in Wichita Falls)

 

It did thanks. And the light shut itself off during the shift today, thank God. I think now that I'm an o/o I drive around more nervous than I did in P.S.D. Took so long to get to this point now all I find myself doing is worrying which direction Murphy will strike from.

Yeah please share red.

 

No doubt about it.

Hope your luck changes in a hurry.

I usually consol myself with the fact that tomorrow is another day.

But, ####, sometimes those days stretch into weeks!
