Glass Unit Training

Well Freightliner Tulsa had to order a part fot the AC yesterday. I spent the night in the Super 8 just down the street (within walking distance). Part is should come in after lunch and take 4-5 hours to install. That will put me past the time dispatchers go home for the weekend, so more than likely I'll be spending the weekend in Tulsa.

 

So yesterday I get a call from my FM around 16:30 (half hour before hes gone for the weekend) and somehow he knows more about the repair of my truck than I do. He tells me it will be done in an hour or two. So he puts a load on me for the weekend picking up in TX delivering in OH Monday morning. Because of his decisions I couldn't get a hotel room last night so had to stay at dealer last night. Hung out in the drivers lounge. Now it's nearly 07:00 and the mechanic told me he's wrapping it up.
I truly doubt my FM even talked to anyone at the dealership, he just needed to clear his board for the weekend. I hope I get break down pay for this, last time I spent a night in a hotel I didn't.

 

Lucky dog, enjoy.

 

Glass has the same 800 mile min. Or if you are within a few hundred miles of the house they will deadhead you home.

 

Got the truck out of the shop at 10:00 yesterday morning. Ran down to TX and picked up. Ran 623 miles and AC worked great! It was 95 in TX so that was a good test.
