TennMan and beyond !

Sorry, Buddy . I remember driving the same truck for almost 2 years when I first started my career and not one burp out of it. I havent had a truck post dpf/def/CARB/whatever, that hasnt thrown numerous codes and been just a PITA. I would have a hard time trusting current trucks

 

Good luck.

 

Nice. So you should be grateful that it is getting fixed. Really? And all your revenue lost is no big deal? If you had your own authority a broker wouldn't even deal with you because of your breakdown history. And your supposed to be happy about your warranty. I'm not a big fan of lawyers but I think your close to having to get one to make a call. Just one call might change some attitude's. Idk. Unbelievable.

 

Good luck! Sfi doesn't seem to want to work with anyone from the stories I've heard and read.

I know from where I'm leasing my truck I've been fighting a really bad vibration some day 1 and the freightliner rep at leasing company told me once we figure out what is really causing this issue we'll go back and refund you the money you've spent the past year and a half.

That's how sfi should be working with you with how big they are. Does your lease contract have an option for a loaner truck while you're down?

 

Dig in... they're going to find out the hard way with the Lemon Law if they don't want to cooperate... It's not like you're asking for the world you're asking for equipment that you can make money off of for your business that's not asking much

 

keep track of your lost revenue as well.......when the dude backed into my truck and it had to go to the body shop, I told the insurance folks I needed $500 a day in lost revenue and they paid it.
Hey, it's like leg on a Saturday night; you don't ask, you don't get

 

my son is a snapon tool dealer. he bought a new tool truck last year.

looks like a bread truck but it's a freightliner M chassis. cummins 8.2 with allison trans. same chassis they use for motorhomes
original cost was $138,000 .
he's had so many problems with no starts etc they actually had a freightliner factory tech stay in a motel near his house for 2 weeks to try and diagnose the recurring intermittent electrical problems and switching just about every control board.

he lost weeks where he had to use his pickup to do his route with a lot of lost revenue ($20,000 gross a week on average) .
the dealer is taking back the truck and giving him $130,000 trade on a new one .

getting a Hino cab/chassis now that cost $170,000 ......everyone says they are the most reliable over the kw's and pete's they offer that seem to have a lot of issues

 

I can't imagine going through what you have. Being new at this lease game, and having survived here a bit over a month, I'm stressing about my first pm. You seem like a tough old sob though, so have a cold one on me and keep us posted.
