    Thank you!
    As for the others...

    We enjoy living out of the truck and being new places daily.
    I don't care where you go, trucks break.
    I just happened to get a crappie lemon truck. My fleet managers bosses boss has been made aware of the situation. He will ultimately make a decision.
    I'm on one of their hardest accounts. I'm not whining because of the work. I'm pissed because the shop foreman lied to my face.
    I filed a formal complaint against him today. Let his superiors deal with him. These parts changers today are bad. They cannot diagnose issues anymore.
    The fact that the head parts changer lied to me isn't good for him. He must not realize I'm not 48 state and he'll see me again. I realize that and will deal with him in person like a man should do.

    One, it's my ASSIGNED truck.

    Second. I'm broke down. We sit here until one or two things happen. Truck gets fixed, or I get assigned a new truck.

    3rd,
    I called and lodged a complaint and hr ago. It's been sent up to the higher ups in charge of my lousy fleet manager. Give it time.

    4th, you come across as an ### with your attitude. Not everyone gets their dream job first time out. Took me many years to get to the biggest and best company in Boston in the wrecker industry.

    @BostonTanker @Boston_Tankers_Girl
    On the other hand: you don't have to live in Boston to work in Boston. Lots of lower priced alternatives. And if y'all are down with living the "camping" lifestyle that is sleeping and always being within 150' of a truck.... Moving sure seems like a step up.[/QUOTE]
    Ps,
    My last job was 27 miles from my house in the Hyde Park neighborhood of boston. 2 hrs one way commute.
    I won't live in an urban diversified neighborhood ever again unless absolutely, and I mean absolutely necessary. The worst thing government ever did was push diversity.

    The obvious thing is we get attached to these trucks. Even if they don't belong to us.

    Let it go buddy. The sooner they take away your reason for staying the quicker you go out and get what you deserve and what you want.

    Move further away. Ware. West boylston. Off 395 in ct. All pretty areas, close to places that are easy to be a trucker. And not too far away to keep you from visiting family.

    If by that you mean I want to live in a neighborhood where I don't worry about getting robbed, don't worry about my car being on cinder blocks, where people can communicate and write in english, my car doesn't get stolen 4 x in 6 months, and I don't worry about my girl getting raped by a group of savages, sure.
