Message:: [QUOTE="ExtremeUnction, post: 11575088, member: 181028"]Put in a shop ticket for preventive maintenance last week. For you non-Abilene drivers reading the thread, the way we do things now is that the shop keeps track of our mileage, and when we're due for a PM, the shop sends an email to our driver manager letting them know who needs a PM.  The driver manager schedules the PM and we put the ticket in for that particular appointment time. I got a call last week from my DM.  Said I was due for a PM.  I happened to be on the way back to the yard to take hometime for the weekend, and actually got back a day early.  I was out of the truck by Wednesday night.  Put in a shop ticket with the "PM NEEDED.  7:00am Friday." appointment time on it. Today, hometime is over!  Time to get back in the truck.  But as I have learned, it's always a good idea to call the shop first before I actually make the 25-minute drive out there. Sure enough, truck wasn't ready.  They were putting it in the shop when I called circa 9:30am.[/QUOTE]
