    Hahaha and thank you for catching that I hoped someone would. Yes, they didn’t say update just “why don’t you switch engines”. Thanks again
     
    Dumdriver and JimFromEarth Thank this.

    In the future I second the no damage to anything that's not yours it's cheaper to just fix it yourself then deal with ramifications of an accident and an insurance claim

    How is it possible to say....

    I was not leasing a truck from them...

    And then say in the next part...

    They terminated my lease....

    So which is it?

    He is referring to a contract lease. Not a truck lease . Two different things.

    Check with intermodal companies.
    Saw an ad for Triple Crown Services: Don't know if it's a good outfit or not, but maybe an option.

    Don't live within 50 miles of one of the above terminals? Don't want to be home every night? We still have opportunities for you!

    This kinda sucks. See where being honest and doing the right thing gets ya at the wrong company? As others have said you have many opportunities available but time is of the essence. Lots of work to do. Research good companies that are a fit for you, and most importantly get your truck fixed and looking good pronto. Nobody will be thrilled about leasing your truck on if it's beat to crap.
    Good luck man, #### happens. Full steam ahead.
