Is Roehl ever going to get any new equipment?

I have to say, the Blue Lemon has been behaving pretty well. One of the things I like about being an o/o is that I get to decide if and when I want to give up this truck. The first year cost a fortune to get the truck and apu where they needed to be, but now she's turning into a pretty good truck. I think a lot of the issue with the Cascadias is that they need a higher level of mechanic than Roehl has at most of their terminals.

 

It seems the boys (I swear everyone there is under 30) in Appleton seem to know what they're doing around the newer trucks.

 

Appleton for some reason has always been the place with the only mechanics that know what their doing. They solved a problem with my truck that no one else including the dealership could.

 

I like the appleton shop.....the mothership is second....Iron mountain is a distant 3rd...and Gary and Ellenwood..well lets just say they are good for changing tires when your out of hours LOL...

I have to ask the Motherships shop chief about my truck and what they are going to do about my sleeper A/C not working.....I am allowed to Idle and my monthly scorecard reflects that (for april I was allowed 15 %) so I am thinking they gave up on repairing it...I wonder if I can talk them into a tripak??

 

That'd be sweet if you could get one off a wrecked Columbia or something.

OH god would it...I think I will do some askin when I am at the mothership...(I live 50 miles from it so I see marshfield quite a bit..)

 

I wouldn't blame you bro. I'm sure they have one sitting somewhere. Id try explaining that idling the truck compared to installing an apu would be less for the apu. And that it might even cost less(in down time) to have the apu installed rather than wait for them to fix your sleeper ac

Idk if your truck is still under warranty but they might tell you it will void the warranty. Which I highly, highly, highly doubt. Anyone talk to this new phone tech Chris? Is he new or just I'm just getting him after a year of calling in?

 

I haven't talked to chris yet...I usually get justin....I will say I hope my truck is under warranty...its only got 28k on it...lol..I doubt a tripak voids warranty...but who knows what excuse they will come up with...

 

Roehl: hey, we wanna install a tripak on this cascadia.

Dealer: well that will void the warranty because the apu will change the molecular structure of the conduit in the tires and cause severe noises from the exhaust and make the value of the truck decrease. Other side effects can be diarrhea, hair loss, and decreased sex drive in all who touch the apu.

Roehl:.......never mind.
