    Welcome to being a IC, crap like this happens, truck shops don't care, just be lucky your tractor has warranty. It doesn't matter how new the truck is crap happens. Stiff like this IS what breaks ICs. Bills pile up and you dig yourself a bigger hole. I'm in a 2014 cascadia dam check engine light been on a week and freightliner and SNI have no idea how to fix it.

    Just be glad you're getting the bugs worked out while its still under warranty! Hopefully by the time it comes out of warranty they will have most of the bugs and other small issues worked out that way your out of pocket expenses are kept to a minimum! Best of luck to you and keep on truckin!

    Just to make you feel better(but not make anyone feel worse lol) we have been running the same truck for four weeks and no problems. No check engine light no issues period. So it is possible. Best of luck!

    Every now and then we all get our fair share of challenges out here but it usually works out better than we first imagine.

    Sitting in Laredo and worse load board I have ever seen down here, almost like freight is frozen! But no worries! I will bobtail my:bootyshake: out of here as far as necessary to get a load taking me to decent next load. Taking the rest of the day off here then will make our plan and escape tomorrow! :biggrin_25525:

    Yes I would encourage you to follow through. I found out about this opportunity about 4 or 5 months in as a company driver. I put a year and 2 months in making as much as possible as a company man before switching over. Worked hard, learned the ropes, did my best to make all my bonuses and found that was great training for running my own truck! The Experience is well worth it! Was for me anyway!
