Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

F T/A anyway. I have had my T/A Ultra One card so long, it's cracked in 2 places. I have had work done on various company's trucks over the last year or so, and each time they have me swipe my card. Late last week, I was given a T/A to fuel at, no mention of my card/account being deactivated thru any of this. Today, decide to use my 1 shower credit (or the shower credit I thought I had) before it expired, only to be told that my account is deactivated. She said your account gets deactivated after 3 months of inactivity...so I fueled enough to get a shower, but nothing gave me an error or issue when I swiped my card...F the T/A-Petro franchise. No wonder Love's is kicking every other truckstop's butt...customer service (or lack of) is what keeps or runs off loyal customers.

 

And my week keeps going downhill. Got to the receiver...no empties, so I PC'd bobtail to a truckstop. Will head back in the morning and hope for an empty...but the worst news, they're already pulling me out of this workhorse with a manual transmission and putting me in a #### auto Freightliner... I am also suppose to have my new hire evaluation...this is gonna be a lousy weekend.

 

Trading it early. Usually they wait between 450-500k, mine has 408k.

 

But, Creaffer locks out manual mode and puts a 3 minute idle limit on their Freightliners...and if the Freighliner inverter is like the one in this truck, the low voltage cutoff on the inverter is higher than the autostart, so brewing my morning java won't work since it won't idle enough to generate power.
