    Ah. The irony.

    I know!

    I spoke from experience.
    I am sometimes my own worst enemy.

    I had the same problem in my company driving days at Swift. Truck was getting due for service, then overdue then way overdue. They sent me a message, wish I had the forethought to take a picture of it, it read that if the truck broke down, being's that it is past due for service, that I would be responsible for all repairs financially.

    I went to pheonix twice to trade trucks and waited 3 days one time and 5 days the next. Hope your wait is not that long.
    I did get layover for those days so wasn' a total loss

    Loaded at Crockett, CA and heading east on I-80. Tandem over by 60lb and I am too lazy to go back and rework. Took a gamble and EB Cordelia weight station green light me so I am now safely in NV. I don’t think I will go back to the shipper again. They were pretty rude.

    The standard is that when the service is about due, just let it go over and get into shop hold. Then try to get it serviced. If you tried to get it serviced before the hold, you’d just wasted your time. Shop mechanics will make any excuses not to do the service. When it’s on shop hold, they will have to do the service then.

    I haven't had that problem.
    They turned me away one time because there was still over 1,000 miles before it was due, but that was it.
    Never had a problem if it was within 500 miles or so.

    I have Cal Bit due in 2 days. Went to few terminals and got turned away. Either not enough miles or they are too small or whatever. Everyone told me I am good for 2 more days and come back when I am on hold. Lol. All bad things happen to me.
