National back order brakes.

Well there isn’t anything special, it is one of a couple manufacturers and they are used on other trucks, so there are a lot of other suppliers. Just seems freightliner along with western star are running behind with suppling their dealers.

also your boss needs to order trucks with common consumable parts so he can have a few sets of things on hand to sent to the shops when they say they can’t get something. Nothing like eliminating as much down time as possible by overnighting parts to a driver for a repair, trucks not moving are making no coin.

 

Should be able to pick those up just about anywhere. Even a truck part supplier should be able to get them.

Just cause it says Freightliner on the hood doesn't mean ya gotta go to them for everything.

 

Truck Pro, Fleetpride, Associated Truck Parts, Napa, and there are plenty online like 4 state and find it parts. You may have a local mom and pop truck shop near you somewhere.

Just Google truck parts or Google what exactly you're after and get on the phone.

 

Sounds like a good guy to work for, honestly. Don't shortcut those valuable free lessons. The only way you, or anyone, will learn is with time and patience. You can't learn the ins and outs of a tractor trailer in a day.

Not to go off on a tangent but this is yet another reason they shouldn't make it legal for 18 year olds to drive trucks. They won't have any idea what's under the hood or how it works and probably won't care which will make life worse for all of us when they break down and park it in the hammer lane.

My son's friends come over when they need a fuse changed.

 

Has nothing to do with age. It has to do with the fact that we have removed all childhood hazards, and now idiots survive to adulthood.
