company to lease

It can be about half a dozen things... that's the problem with the new engines - and the tech's Cummins/Detriot/Cat/Volvo or Freightliner/Peterbilt/Kenworth/Volvo don't really know how to troubleshoot, IMO.

 

Many of us have that kind of experience! Entire day at Phoenix last fall! They never did figure it out. Gone are the days when good mechanics could listen to an engine and know what was wrong right away. The best could even just listen to what you describe, and know exactly what to check, and in what order! Now they depend on the computers to tell them everything - so if they cannot duplicate your issue on the computer, you're making it up!
Hang in there Slick... best of luck!

 

Slick, I'm assuming that you just finished training, then signed the lease, yes?

Hope you have some money in the bank, because it's looking like your introduction to being a business-owner is gonna be painful. I really feel for you...

Once you get back on the road, make sure you salt-away as much as you can. You're going to have fat weeks and thin ones... and it really is going to help to have a big fat money cushion.

Good luck man!

 

Thats why Im gonna run with a new lease I think. Been company for a year and thinkin bout leasing a new lil pete.

 

So what turned out to be the problem? I am intrigued.

 

On-time is based on when you send your mac1; keep that in mind grasshopper!

 

Good advice, except for Walmart!
