    How did mega carriers drive up insurance quotas? And how did they drive down the rates you charge?

    What kind of truck do you have and what happened to it? That's a big repair number over there

    $17000 to peterbilt for them to do nothing but go through an engine that didn’t need it. They and paccar had no idea how to fix it.

    Then New doser, clean crystallized def from mixing chamber $2827.46
    New steering gear box, $884

    That’s the easy stuff,
    then Speedco got me when i had a wheel seal leak.
    wheel seal, brake kit drum rhs front axle
    $1744 and change
    Bunch of more little junk that adds up.
    I’ll add a starter for parts and new AC system since it went out last week.
     
    dwells40, Siinman and DUNE-T Thank this.

    We’re you drunk when you wrote this because it sounds like you were just rumbling?

    You expect to get raked over the coals on repairs out on the road anymore,
    $800 for the 1 drum.

    That is just ridiculous! How they can get away with charging that should be jail time. Guess I won't complain about a 30/30 piggyback purchase in made


    Local truckstop 165.00
    Local parts place 125.00

    The last time Speedco did any work for me, it ended up costing them about $12k to fix what they F'd up.
    I guess they're taking it out on you @Judge
