Taking the plunge. My journey as an O/O.

If that was me I would have to think they are BSing me and the work isnt done...

 

This is where you enter into freak the F out mode and want their manager, and if you don’t get somewhere then, you get their manager, and let them know what a bunch of lazy incompetent pricks everyone under them is being and you were told something and you expect them to do it. That you don’t give 2 ####s about their invoicing that you’ll be there in 20 mins to pickup your truck.

You can’t let these guys get away with this. They are used to dealing with company drivers who say “aww shucks, I’ll hit the casino for another night”. Your a business person and they are costing you money.

 

I find it hard to believe that Freightliner in a major city isn’t 24hr five days a week.

 

If all the repair jobs on my truck over the last 5 years had been done at those dealerships shops, I would have lost quite a fortune. I don't even go to Loves to fix a nail hole in my tire because they always say that it is too close to the edge...I just go to their store and buy that DIY patching kit on their on shelf for $5 and 10 minutes later the tire is as good as new. And they were ready to sell me their made in China tire for $325.

 

What i find just as hard to believe is someone would take a truck to a dealer to hook up an inverter.

 

Dude it's an inverter, not exactly wiring up a breaker box. Run 2 cables from inverter to battery, plus a small frame/body ground. That's ALL that dealer is doing. Running the same cables and frame ground that came in that install kit you bought from the sleeper to the battery box. In effect you are paying them 135$ or whatever their hourly rate is to fishline a couple cables.

Didn't you pay a dealer something like 1200 bucks to replace the 5 id and clearance lights above the windshield? These are true wtf are you thinking moments that you need to rain in if you want to make money with a truck.
