It was a good week thoughI received a call from ACT maintenance Friday around 1630..I Had put the truck in the shop for an overhead. . Cummins PM.. regular service. . On Monday. .
They waited til Friday to bring it in. . And found a recap that needed replaced.. brakes that would pass DOT but were thin. . And a pipe from turbo to DPF that was leaking exhaust (DOT out of service).
Told them, "the truck is my livelihood, it keeps my creditors happy, fix it"..
ACT dispatch called today (Sunday)..We have a load in McPherson KS..Great! is my truck out of the shop?..ummm..No.. Then I can't take the load. .(loads today)
So hopefully it's done tomorrow. ..See ya soon..Stay safeClick to expand... -
It's Tuesday. .
I went to the shop.. my truck still isn't ready but hopefully it's done this afternoon. I received a phone call. . The part showed up and its been installed. .GREAT!
I called Mark (my dm) and tell him the truck is out of the shop..gives me a load from the yard for tomorrow morning.
THEN! my phone rings. . It's the shop. . We found more stuff wrong. .. YOUR KILLING ME!... What? Your batteries are bad. .400$ ...I don't care. . Fix it. .I'm under dispatch and leaving in the morning!....Oh, we'll have it ready.
I don't get frustrated very often. . But I put the truck in the shop 10 days ago. . They waited until 3 days ago to start working on it. . All of my extended down time could have been eliminated if the shop hadn't waited to work on it.
HomeTownHauler Thanks this. -
It's Friday morning. . I'm 195$ in the hole (because I took last week off)
I have 1,100 miles. . I'm delivering in KCKS after making it to the yard last night.
Trucking..ugh.. It's like my second marriage. .a love hate relationship. .BlackLions Thanks this. -
Sucks coming back sometimes and takes a few days to get into it again...
I'm puzzled and amazed with operations/preplans this week. Ran from Indiana to KC to Colorado Springs - then preplan from Wichita to TN and then TN back to CO. Amazing week and next week...Jaguar115 Thanks this. -

Road CALL sorry it's taking a bit to get back to you.the miles shouldn't be too much of a problem but getting home two days a week I would say negative Ghost Rider.but it also just kind of depends I'm headed to the house today I was at the House last weekend and the weekend prior to that.sometimes I stay out for 3 weeks and then go home for 3 days and then out for two weeks and come home for four days. But I gotta say as a company driver I'm being treated really really well
kkiesznowski and RoadCall Thank this. -

Sorry Jag, don't mean to jack your thread just trying to get a little company driver feedback. I will say you guys are making me think real hard about leasing. Probably start as a company driver and go from there. Thanks to all that contribute to this thread.
