Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

Honest officer, he's my twin brother...we look so much alike our mother named us the same, that way she always called us by the right name....really

 

Same dispatcher told 1 driver after he was caught doing something he was warned about more than once that there had to be 2 of him as 1 person could not be so stupid

 

Good old US290 just outside of Houston is not a good place to be driving through with an e-log Traffic clustered down to one lane for construction. Took me over two hours to go about 4-5 miles from 2030-2230 tonight. Picking up a home load to Henderson in the morning from Pol-Tex. Seemed I snagged a decent loaner while mine gets some work done on her.

 

For those of us that use Prepass, did you remember to update your account when you got your new license plate? I hadn't until this morning.... ooooooops!

 

There use to be a billboard over there promoting 'work from home' opportunities....it said that 290 isn't the route number, it's the time in minutes you sit in traffic on it every day.

 

Well I am now 100% convinced that our shop is completely retarded from top to bottom. Got moved back into my original truck last night. Check engine light on. Way to go shop!
Currently typing this while I am doing a parked regen a whopping 250 miles since they supposedly changed doc/dpf filters.
In the last month my truck has been in our shop twice and international dealer once. Wtf lol.

 

You might want to talk to Tony before he moves to his new position when Jerry leaves in May. There may be an empty truck a little better than what you have. Once the new guy comes in, I am not sure how long it'll take him to get acclimated to the job.

 

Yeah I will probably do that. What suck is the truck ran fine for 40k-50k miles and now in the last 10k it's been to the shop 4 times now and all 4 for the same problem. You would think they would be able to fix it lol. Obviously if they changed the filters then it's probably something minor or something our shop screwed up. We will see.

 

I thought mine was going to need a DPF replacement,. But after the 4th or 5th manual regen in 2 weeks, it quit asking for them. So I guess it was just trying to do auto-regens at the wrong time and couldn't get one completed because I was in traffic or on a local road with red lights...or else the winter blend of fuel was causing problems, and now that the summer blend is in the tanks all is back to normal.

 

They got me rolling. Just small issues that appear to be caused from our shop, but w/e time to head to the house.
