It takes a bit of time, in the meantime, verify they've received your insurance information and BOC-3 as well. Nothing will happen until that's all on file.

 

There is a minimum amount of time that is required to have your authority become active. From what others have posted in the past, I would expect your authority to be active sometime this week as long as your insurance is in place. You should be able to go on the fmcsa website and check the status. It took about 6-8 weeks when I got my authority. That was quite a few years ago. Everything moved a bit slower with regular mail. We could not go on line and check or file the paperwork. Things were done by hand.

 

If I'm not mistaken, you recently got your Authority? Your audit is still quite a ways away. I also assume you have a Volvo motor in your truck? Can't believe it will take them a whole week to get you back on the road.
Sorry about your bad luck my friend.

 

Can't tell from phote how old you Volvo is and if your warranty is for a new or extended plan. But regardless, bet you are glad you have it.

While I haven't had my truck in for a lot of repairs I have made a point of getting to know the service manager. He knows my name because I sent the owner of the company a letter saying what a great job he did (and all he really did was his job). Now when I call he asks when I need it by and give him plenty of time. I haven't needed to pull the triger on a rush job yet.

And injector is an injector and they go out on all engines. Not a special problem with Volvo that I have heard of. EGR was a different story but believe that was a specific part issue that has been fixed. Not hearing about the multiple issues like you did in the early days. Seems now once it is replaced all is good. That tells me it was part design issue that has been fixed. Volvo replaced a lot of those under warranty.

 

I am telling ya, unless you walk out of there all pissed off take the extra time to find the owner or his bosses boss and tell them how great he treated you. The only person taking more abuse than these guys is the Walmart DC recieving department. He will remember you for years.

Do you have the pre-07 engine? I have an '06 and all of the '07 I looked at had the '06 in them.

Here's to hoping all the injectors go out before the warranty expires.
