Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

Week started out real good,than I got up here to New Castle this morning,guess they didn't have anything don't pu till midmorning tommorrow.

 

Sitting here laughing to myself cuz the shop said they weren’t fixing or bringing anyone else in until my truck was done. They just pulled three more trucks up ahead of me….kind of childish to play games and “punish” a driver cuz the company isn’t paying the rates the shop wants for parts and labor.

 

Im betting somebody higher up is going to get involved tomorrow once I tell my DM Im not fixed yet tomorrow morning when he calls to ask me.

 

If it’s work that’s covered by warranty, you are the last priority. Shops hate warranty work.

 

Yeah, I kinda figured it was something along those lines of not getting paid what they want parts and all to replace my air compressor. Knight shipped their own parts here overnight Wed and arrived yesterday morning.

 

Interesting, why would that be the case? Does it take a long time for a shop to get reimbursed for warranty work, or is it the lost opportunity to "find" issues on a truck?

 

Because the mechanics generally get paid less hourly rate for a warranty work then they do non-warranty work… That’s why shops hate warranty work

 

Thanks

 

Looking for other work is frowned upon while the truck is undergoing warranty repairs.
