    Thermoking? They let you sit there almost a week over an APU? Im suprised they didnt say tough luck. I've seen people in jackets all week.

    My drive tire blew out and smashed up my apu and tore a coolant hose up so they had to put my truck in the shop. I just found out its going to be another week.

    They will most definitely send you for another truck. I cant image that they would let you sit for 2 weeks.

    My fm said that there is no other trucks. He said that their are other drivers who have been on breakdown for over 2 weeks and still have to wait for their truck. Im not one to complain to much about usa but I really don't think I can afford to sit somewhere for 2 weeks so I might have to find another company as bad as I don't really want too.

    You get breakdown pay for it. It's paid out based on your average weekly paycheck.
     
    4thgenerationtommy and Thomas0810 Thank this.

    Will be relaying a load to Rapid City, SD once I drop my current load about 4:00. Don't know where the relay point is but It shows 230 empty miles and 960 loaded.

    Blown drive tire smashed your APU? Im not calling you a liar but I dont see how thats possible. I've had many blown drive tires and have even thrown chains off of them but never anymore damage than a torn mud flap. Sounds more like you hit something and that's probably why they are telling you that they don't have anymore trucks available.
