    Not really wanting, because I don't like them that much, but because I don't want to be with them any more than I have to be, in order to go somewhere better.

    $35. Have you had bees in a hotel room? I do. Fresh honey every day (had to say something funny). Not kidding about the bees though.

    It doesn't matter which way you do it. Mixing the two in ANY AMOUNT AND ANY WAY will do about 10k of damage to the engine.

    According to this thread about $6000. Then again, if you calculate in the loss of revenue from the truck and the potential firing or suspension of the driver, yeah, it is about $10,000

    There is a very knowledgeable post before, that explains that the engine DOES NOT get damaged. DEF gets in the system somewhere after diesel is burned (if I understood correctly).

    Hey Tonakis,

    Sorry if my post earlier in the thread seemed demeaning. We've all been there and made mistakes, no doubt you'll learn from yours. Hope you're having an alright time relaxing at the hotel. How's the weather there? I'm in Toronto (Canada) and it's -6C here or 21F. Saw a little bit of snow yesterday too. Yikes. You know, my company only paid us $25/day layover so I feel your pain. That barely covers the cost of food and entertainment per day.
     
    pattyj and tonakis Thank this.

    You're not getting fired.... This is a loss amount that occurs on a regular basis for a mega carrier like them.... Couple more days n you'll be back on the road.. Early you mentioned they told you to keep all the receipts for the hotel, So hopefully they plan on reimbursing you... Good Luck
     
    tonakis Thanks this.
