    Been here two hrs now cuz Knight can’t decide what tire to put on….guess they decided to replace it instead of letting TA plug it.
     
    Bumper and Rugerfan Thank this.

    This tire should have been fixed 2.5 hrs ago. TA has the same tires I got on this truck…this is why I hate being a company driver at times cuz of the indecisiveness of breakdown ppl and them taking forever to just approve something in general. This aint rocket science….im the one gotta stay awake until they pull their heads out of their behinds and still pickup my load tomorrow morning regardless how much sleep I get….
     
    Lonesome and Rugerfan Thank this.

    Everytime I would call breakdown I would come away with the feeling I had just been in a conversation with a young 2LT fresh out of ROTC.......sigh.

    LoL! Sometimes I feel that same way. Funny how the least experienced are put in charge all because they got a piece of paper from some school……

    I swear if anybody in breakdown had a brain cell they would be dangerous…..how hard can it be to decide what tire to put on….5 hours and still no decision yet…..I say let the mechanic pull the nail and patch and plug it….
     
    Bumper and Lonesome Thank this.

    Well, 7 hrs and counting Ive been in the shop bay over indecisiveness on what to do about this nail in my tire. I swear Knight is more lost than a bunch of 2nd LTs with a map and compass on a land navigation course…..
     
    Bumper and Lonesome Thank this.

    At home,from Monday to Friday this week,I've ran a 1000 miles,the last 9 days I've ran 1900,i'm on a load now that doesn't deliver till Thursday in Orlando,abilene said the across the board in Richmond has been 1300.

    I'm blessed not to have alot of overhead,but this thing needs to start growing some legs.
