Good lord i didn't realize thid question would cause such a stir. This is exactly why i keep my CB off. -
It does include a oil an filter change.
Most drivers today when you here them say I'm getting a pm this is what their talking a bout. I have an intermediate service done as well which is pretty much just a greese job and fluid check ie rear end fluids.
Years ago we had A B and C pm's (service) on a truck there were several things done at different intervals
How old or new is your truck and what is itHeWhoMustNotBeNamed Thanks this. -

He may have read a PM A or a PM B which SNI used to do on company trucks (not sure if they do now or not been a long time since I was company).
In an instance like that one includes oil one doesnt.
I agree it's better to ask than to assume and be ripped off.
Also he's correct there are a bunch of Seasoned Aholes on here who act as if they never ask any questions or make a mistake or simply think they're perfect and gods gift to this industry.
I'm sorry some think they're to good to answer a simple question.
Of course those seem to be the ones who also don't think SNI will take advantage of them either.
But what do I know I'm just a major Ahole.scottlav46 and FatDaddy Thank this. -
The way I read your question gave me the sense that you went.out and bought a truck with no real idea of what is involved or how to be a L/O, IC, or O/O.
A better way to ask would have been along the lines of "I was just told/read xyz. I didn't think that was true, any opinions?"
Or "what do you expect a shop to do on a pm for $x?
Or "my manual says to do this but I've always done something else"
We get an awful lot of 'drivers' who don't understand the basics yet who start down the O/O path. Like the poor schmuck last night who was being taught why it's important to look at the weight when booking a load. Or the guy I helped this morning who has been driving for over a year but doesn't understand the HOS or QHOS software. He always let his co-driver take care of everything. He was a company driver but the parallel to a new IC is there. You had always just let the company handle maintence and never really figured out what's involved.
I'm really no better than you on that. I have NO ####ING CLUE on the proper way to maintain a truck. I know the wrong way, but I don't know the best way. Hence why I'm still a company schlub.scottlav46, TennMan, PoleCrusher and 1 other person Thank this. -
But at least I know what a joke looks like.Repete86 Thanks this. -
Let us all bow before your holiness, teach us oh great master... Let us learn how to be as humble as you. -
scottlav46, FatDaddy and bigcove Thank this.
