First year has been Hell!

Yeah first year was rough , made very little money . I'm in year 3 now and it's still tough but doable. When this truck is paid off I will be one happy trucker , goodluck .

 

I was just in the shop today and this was removed from the DPF. Volvo d13 truck with mid 600k miles

 

Well thats half the battle. Actually sleeping when youre tired and driving when you arent. ELD's and robot trucks should get along well.

 

Dune-T: someone also has tire wear issues.

 

That's gotta be one heck of a rough riding volvo.

 

I just had a DEFberg removed from my DPF. How much did it cost you? Mine was done under warranty but I can imagine it would’ve been expensive otherwise. Mine only has 182K

 

On fixed income sometimes that 1000 dollar engine work is required. And so it takes two months to make it happen 600 paid today and 400 inside of 30 days flat, technical term is mecahnic's Lien however that is one term not used very much in legal or

We also stopped using one dealer for the brand name servicing of our car. They dared to qoute 115 dollars to examine our Cigerette lighter which is already busted. A local shop called Youngs did not charge us that fee, used a screw driver to gain leverage and the device was taken out with me moving he cigarette lighter out of service since we don't smoke.

 

That was not my truck

 

was it Cummins or Volvo engine?
