Think the dealers are going to be stuffed full of trucks that week and I'm sure their mechanics want the 4th off also. This looks to be a classic goat####. -

You act like you're the only one getting screwed, been on the hook twice and missed 4 loads but still managed to not cry about it...in the end you are responsible for picking a company that works for your needs, and if you hate Petes why the F...drive for a fleet full of Petes? Me I'm not an International fan, so unless there's a lot of money with it guess which companies I won't be driving for.
And yeah if I were getting your checks after my 4 months and not seeing an improvement I'd leave to so I'm not trying to beat you up. It's time to move on for you we are never gonna be able to meet your needs and we should be careful hiring drivers from your area if we can't get them the miles they need.cdavis188, roll_tide07 and enicolasy Thank this. -

With regards to Pererbilt's well, we run Petes, sometimes they fail, time to build a bridge and get over that. It really makes no sense to drive at a company full of the brand of truck you hate the most...tucker, roll_tide07 and enicolasy Thank this. -
Is this recall only affecting the 16 and 17 series petes?

The hatred for this truck brand developed after experiencing them. It was originally just a mild dislike. I had hoped the 'all new from the ground up' 579(a line from an advert I saw somewhere) would change that opinion...but it has only proven to me that Petes are the same as International, just more expensive. It will all be water under that very bridge you speak of very soon I hope. I know this hurts the company too...which is one reason I am curious as to why they stick to buying the same equipment, not just the model of truck, but the model of engine that has proven to be so troublesome in the past for them. Someone said a while back that a member of the shop was overheard saying something about how disappointed they are in the reliability of these trucks, and how they can't believe how bad Peterbilt has gotten with their equipment quality. I believe @ncmickey quoted something a while back(in reference to me) about doing something the same way and expecting different results being a sign of insanity. Since Cummins has a better track record for building a reliable engine than Pacar, and that engine is an option to just bolt right in, instead of these boat anchors, why keep tempting fate, and risk the profits of an entire company by continuing to buy these proven unreliable pieces of equipment year after year. And no, I am not saying the boss is nuts, I am saying Peterbilt must have some darn good salesmen to keep convincing customers that these problems are a thing of the past so they will keep buying. I bet those salesmen could have sold bottled water on the Titanic, as it was sinking.Last edited: Jun 2, 2016
