Breakdown ,responsibilities

First of all, if there is a problem with the starter, DO NOT under any circumstance shut the truck off! Have to get pull-started once? Company pays. Second time in the same trip? That's on you. Keep it running until you get back to the yard for the company hacks to fix or until you pull into a shop bay to have the repairs performed on the road.

If the truck won't idle and shuts down on its own with no way to override it, then the company should've routed you to a shop to get it fixed immediately after the 1st pull-start. That's the way they spec'd their truck, so it becomes their responsibility to pay to have the truck restarted every time it shuts off on its own until they decide to have it repaired. In the meantime, since it won't maintain a safe temperature inside while you sleep, they ought to pay for motels, too, until they decide to fix the truck.

Considering a starter costs about the same as a pull-start, and a shop ought to be able to put it on in about an hour, by the time they paid for the 2nd pull-start, they could've fixed the truck.

 

When you get the truck started again don't shut it off. Get the truck back to them and find another job they aren't worth the time. Go in the truckstop and stay warm.

Go to a hotel do no leave the truck there if you do then they'll put Abandoned truck on your record. It's a no win situation until you get home.

 

Where are you at?

 

Isn't there anyone besides your boss you can call?He should have given you an emergency number.His responsibility is to have the truck towed to the nearest shop and pay for a room for you.Everything will be closed till after Christmas so I

keep calling and texting your boss every 15 minutes he will get tired of it and finally answer.

 

What's the new name?When looking for a job find a company with top knotch equipment otherwise you'll be going from one bad company to another and probably a bad safety record.
