Planned out 8 days.........

Me thinks your pretty unhappy,bet I'm not the only one who can tell that?
This is all stuff that all of us have had to deal with to one degree or another,you say truck is broke but your rolling right? So its not that serious unless a safety issue.If its a 3 day wait at the shop then put it in the shop when you take time off,and or accept that you will have to move in and out of a new one.

are you grumpy,bit##y or nasty when you ask for something? if so then thats why your only getting short nonsensical answers,weekend and after hrs people cover alot more trucks each,so solve as many problems as you can yourself,you do your job,follow your training call your mentor if you can or ask questions here for help.

aLso relax!(I know thats hard when under pressure) if you push to hard and aren't sure what to do mistakes can be made. if your under financial pressure might want to rethink this.Learn the job,know the job,keep the job.Then worry about miles.

Just something to think about,cause maybe your just blowing off steam,eh?

 

The you will have to make a decision very soon,smoke in the cab is a seriouis safety issue! No power is a safety issue(cant get out of the way expedisiouly)Bad mileage is costing the company alot of money.

Are you communicating all this to your dm,road side etc? try thisover the quallcom) I have a serious safety issue with this truck(and quote why)nicely,firmly and professionally.

and yes you will have to sit until fixed or you get moved to another truck.

 

Dude then relax,take the truck in and keep quoting safety,safety,safety.no financial pressure,just the pressure your putting on yourself then. Swift depends on you to take care of these issues. where are you near now? Give yourself a break,but get that truck fixed.once you qoute safety issues then its not on you,take it to a shop,they will get sick of paying you detention after a couple days (believe me)but you will have to take a different truck.Think upgrade!

 

oops......meant breakdown or layover pay

 

Just seems irresponsible to me to NOT take a company truck in that needs service,minor things that you can take care of you should do yourself.Its not your 100,000 dollar piece of equipment,do you really want to take the blame if something worse happens because YOU wouldn't take it in?

But whatever floats your boat bb..............
