Getting Ryder to fix there leased trucks...

Well I told my boss what ya'll told me. I told him I've been very patient trying to work with ryder and all to get the truck fixed even though it's really not my problem. One of the other drivers just quit and I suggested assuming his trucks ac worked well I could run his rig and he said that would be fine so will see. He said no ones said anything about the ac on it. I'm going to run it tomorrow and see how it does. I got in it tonight and started her up just to check it out and the ac ran fine but there were a couple of lights on the dash board a abs light an upside down triangle light and a (tc) light.. I'm assuming those are all related to a bad abs sensor or something which I can live with. but no ac I can not live with being I'm in Texas and it's freaking hot here lol..

 

I didn't know that.

 

Yeah I actually just got out of a rental. This will be the 4th time I've had my truck in there shop trying to get it fixed. I've got my truck back and it's not fixed of course. Itsfunneh they gave me a 2018 Freightliner Cascadia and it wouldn't idle at night so I ended up not having AC at night. My regular truck they're working on had AC at night because it had an APU but it didn't have AC during the day so one truck had AC during the day and the other had it at night lol.

 

That's correct. The trucks leased were brand new from the get go, but if the driver quit then it was given to another driver so they weren't exactly for one driver the whole time but they weren't passed around like a truck at a mega truck carrier either. The current truck I'm driving has had one or maybe 2 drivers in it before me in the 3 years it's been on the road.

 

I just put the truck in the shop again for the same freaking problem for the 5th time. They've done a Freon flush, condenser clean, replaced a blend door actuator etc so it will be interesting to see what they do now.. at least the "loaner/rental" truck they've given me this time actually works decently this time.
