    Werner does not give a crap about him, why be nice to them when they don't respect you

    Even had a "friend" lined up to train him. Someone please link to that thread please, so that the lady will understand why sympathy is lacking. You never want to tell someone that you told them so,...BUT, everyone told him not to go that route.

    Friends don't tell friends to go drive for Werner.

    Staph infections are easier to be exposed to now. They had one of those programs on TV where the person cut theirself on a shelf at a store (Walmart or something like that) and it started in that night. Almost lost their leg to it.

    Even if they pay breakdown pay and the motel room, it gets expensive sitting idle. Husband has been there, done that with a lease truck a few years ago. Being company is a little better, but eating still costs. I mentioned on another thread started that it sounds like the battery or batteries which are low and are needing to be replaced and or a major electrical drain. Has he ever had the batteries tested to see if they are holding a charge? Husband's Volvo years ago would have to have the truck turned on after about 6-7 hours of being off. We didn't have bunk heaters but did have 2 refrig running, all the electronics on the truck, and at that time it was cold so we had 2 plug-in heating blankets.

    Lol living out of the truck deducts 1500 a month for rent and utilities. But if I had it my way I would walk up to the foreman who didn't do his job and lied to his fae about the truck being fixed and punch him. But I don't look good in orange
     
    NavigatorWife and chopper103in Thank this.

    If you are that determined to live in a cramped space and no facilities to save a buck then take the local job and live out of a storage unit.

    Well, living in Boston its insanely expensive. For a stuido apartment you are looking at 2k without utilities. 500k for a tiny house in the boston area without utilities. Sadly, with how cold it has gotten in the past two years we spent close to 140 to 170 a month for heat
