CRST drivers pls

Hah yea pay could be better but my fm is good just weekend dispatch sucks

 

My fm is usually pretty good although he reall ticked me off today. TA's have the part. there is a fr8tlnr 60 miles from my house and my fm refuses to let me d/h there saying oh we can just order the part in atlanta and gett it fixed when you come back out. Which of course will cause breakdown pay for them on top of motel rooms... in my way of thinking it would be cheaper to just let me take it to the shop on h/t DUH....

 

Now you stop that immediately. What you are saying is common sense, rational decision processing. This is trucking, we don't do that, we don't even contemplate that!

Don't send this message to any 'fm', 'dm', or even a planner, without the issuance of a large type dictionary. You would really be upseting the apple cart if this is forwarded without explanation of any word longer than 4 letters.

 

Well friday i was 25 miles east of Barstow on I 40 stopped at rest area reported check engine light on loss of power no DPF light on ie. a egr issue was told to go to flaggstaff ,AZ told them truck would not make flag was told to go anyway. Severeal times during trip reported loss of pull in 10th gear,9th gear and finally 8th gear told to keep going. i was towed into flag on the hook blew the turbo apart and been sitting at peterbuilt all weekend . so maint. needs to get head out of but was a pete dealer in barstow,ca but they pushed truck til;l did tons mopre damage.

 

Our fm had us push the truck here to Fontana from Tucson az the mechanic said he was surprised we even pulled a hill as we had loss of power. Then the tandems wouldn't slide on the trailer we had andthey wanted us to drive to Livingston ca to fix it we were in Modesto ca no way in hell am I doing that so I backed it up against a curb and used it as a stop and it worked I think the brakes were just about toast on that trailer but not sure.

 

That's why you should invest in a good chauk block. It helps on trailers that are hard to slide.

 

Yea one driver said to use dish soap and squirt it in the holes and slide it back and forth but the chaulk sounds like a good idea

 

Well went from flag to kingman az to Bham truck back in shop same issues. I want a frieghtliner. But most likly i will be moving on in a month. I have a job offer guarennted 900 bringhome a week gone 2 weeks home 4 days. Run solo from Miss-Portland-New orlens then back to Miss small company but need to acctually make some money going broke sitting in shops.

 

Yea I think our turbo is going out so we asked to be routed to cedar rapids
