Full Service Gone Bad at a Travel Center in New Jersey

brian991219 Yea I drove the truck 9 miles to the big Freightliner dealership in Swedesboro. They were 'doing me a favor' by getting my truck diagnostics started on friday. The truck is at Bridgeport Freightliner. The original service center was a Freightliner service point with the Freightliner sign in lights.

I do however like to get my full services done at places I go to regularly. This is going to change my service point routine.

drvrtech77 They made it good last time they made a mistake, I'm talking about the travel center chain. But I will be very careful about full services on the road. There are places I go to often. I don't particularly like midnight shift guys full of tatoos. Am I a bigot now or am I burnt and cautious.

pattyj I was hinting to my dispatcher on thursday to get someone else on the load. Then friday I blaintly told my dispatcher in the morning to give the load up but I think he was in disbelief or just hoping things would get fixed fast. I won't have to pay the $1000 late fee myself but I will do my best to take responsibility and get the fee covered for my contractor. We have no other drivers in the area with our Canadian company. I'm sure someone else in the area could have covered earlier. I honestly don't know if the load is still waiting for me or not. I think it capped.

 

Before tuesday comes along I will be preparing to update my official complaint with the original service point chain. These guys are at fault and they are going to pay for these repairs hell or high water. I had a decent month for miles, luckily, so it's a matter of getting back onto the road and getting this mess paid out by the party whose at fault and be more careful next time. The first day in the hotel was fine because I could use the reset but I really hope to get some good news on tuesday.

 

I can't confirm nor deny the vendor of the full service FatDaddy due to the potential for pending legal action against this vendor, but, I'm sure you do know!
