    It is pretty sad when the Junky Truck happens to be 2019 Freightliner! Good thing he didn't get the 2018!!:rolleyes::cool:

    Uh man u gonna lose $2500 more at the rate you are sitting around and I bet they aint paying you. I would ask for a different truck asap and if they dont come through get out of that sinking ship while you can. Did u research said company before you started there?? Because if you did you certainly wouldn't have gone with them..Just don't abandon the truck. Gosh these dirtbag companies are disgusting

    OP didn't state his circumstances or how he ended up at WE. For some folks....accidents, incidents, tickets, prior felonies/incarcerations, etc. WE can be one of the only places to start/start over. Best to stick it out for a bit if it is the last house on the block.

    It happens, I have one sitting at the dealer, took delivery of it the first of the year and it is a lemon. The engine had a serious internal coolant leak, and it was used once by a very good driver.

    The big difference is, as I mentioned earlier, you have yours at the dealer. Apparently, WE has the monkeys in their shop fiddling with this one. Good point though. There are Manufacturing defects that can happen with any machine. Look at the recall rate on automobiles today....millions and millions every year

    Good point. As far as second chance companies like WE it's like pick your turdb and chew. On the other hand slavery was outlawed years ago. Would surprise me if he is even getting paid....

    I understand the second chance thing, but dang, your still a human being with bills to pay and a life. Quality of life is a big deal to me. To others it might not be. Plus my tolerance for BS is pretty low.....some would say nonexistent.
