JUST hired on, need a newer truck already?

I'll do the best I can for ya!

Sometimes you just have to be a bit patient, they will take care of you.

 

you should see the truck im in, i started with an 07 flat top. they reassigned me to a 05 condo. passenger sides all torn up, dash panels are missing and cracked.
switched me out because this ones got an mcp200, witch i love. i'll tolerate the rig for the mcp.

 

I have been with SNI for going on 3 months now, and started off in a 2002 Century with 941,000 on it. I didnt complain as long as she was acting fine, but now shes in the shop once a week at least. Started pushing my DBL for a better one and he says there is nothing out there, so Im looking to transfer to bulk in the hopes that they have better equipment.

 

Welcome to trucking !!!!!!

You are correct, do NOT drive an unsafe vehicle !!!!

Good Luck !!!!!

 

Hold on there my man!

Try calling the Carlisle shop, and see what they can do for you. Maybe nothing at this pointe, but it can't hurt.

ABS light. Did you just hook a different trailer? Sometimes the ABS system on the trailer sends that alarm. I've hooked a few that did that. You still have serviceable brakes, read that safe brakes. The alarm just shows that there is a problem, but does not negate your brakes from working, you just don't have the ABS feature.

Look up on the drivers side sunshade. There is a sequence and explanation on what some of the codes are for the engine. Is it just an amber light? If so, it's nothing to be overly concerned about. The sticker on the sunshade will explain more.

What are your hard braking issues? I've been around enough to maybe help you out. Granted, I'm not a mechanic, but I do know a few things.

Don't quit before you really get started.

Take a deep breathe, count to 10, and wait for your DBL to help you out. That IS his/her job. I won't say you don't have a bad one, there are some, but they're few and far between.

 

Whoa!!! If it's pulling to one side when you hit the brakes, you DEFINITELY have something going on, and it's not good!
You're doing the right thing not moving it until you can get it somewhere.

Keep trying to get through. I've found the second shift and weekends can be less than helpful, but your DBL should be trying to help you. One big word they pay attention to is SAFETY. Tell them you can not safely drive the truck, and be firm about it.
