    Nope, you’ll never get through to them. I laugh at the number of drivers in fear of the DAC.

    1. Don’t ever abandon a truck, DAC no DAC whatever, turn it in and quit knowing you did it right.

    2. You should be getting breakdown pay. a second truck to work in or a ride home until they’re ready.

    3. 4 days in a hotel ain’t #### when waiting on repairs.

    Now that’s a reason to not quit on the road, not the stupid DAC.

    4 days is too long to sit around far from home and not getting paid. So if that is the case I can understand your frustrations and I'd be on the phone with a boss working out a game plan.

    But if you are being paid some kind of breakdown pay then kick back and relax. Call an uber/taxi and go out enjoy your freedom while you can.

    No one's mentioned, but I'm assuming OP is in dumpy motel with no $$$ in his pocket, possibly in &^#$%, Tx. with just a McD to eat at. That would drive me crazy too !
