Choice program on the West Coast - from company driver to IC

This could get ugly.... I would make sure they change injector harness first.....

 

I've been following a few of you guys, really enjoying what im reading. Very serious about making the move, but I have to ask, do the tanker guys get to choose the loads as well as van?

 

Update on my truck.....

#5 injector has a bad needle. They are replacing the #5 injector and the harness. Should be ready on Thursday, so they say....

 

There's another thread on here started by a guy on the bulk side. Look for his thread. It's called http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/showthread.php?t=248701

 

Bad thing is they should replace all injectors. Because when one fails the rest aren't far behind.

 

I told them the same thing. They said the needle on the #5 injector is bad and that replacing just that one along with the harness will be fine. I guess we'll see....

 

I don't see the harm in replacing just the bad injector. If another fails, yeah go ahead and replace all of them. But you may get plenty of more good miles out of the rest. Time will tell.

 

My 4 wheeler had a bad injector and they only replaced it, haven't had an issue since but then again it's a 4 wheeler and they could be different.

 

What is their reasoning for replacing the harness.....

 

Well, I got my truck back two days early!

They replaced the #5 injector and the harness. The injector had a short so I assume they did that part of the harness because of the short?

Plan on leaving out of Charlotte in the morning. Got a sweet load going up to Pittston PA. 11k lb load, paying over $1k for a days work. Plus it's a relay out of the Carlotte OC so no mt hunt!

Then I got a load for Friday heading over to MA.

And fingers crossed that the truck keeps it together!

Later...........
