There's more to this story.Siinman Thanks this. -
Did contact the broker (jb hunt) about having one of their power only drivers do it, but they didn't respond. Of course, they later contacted me about it but didn't respond to my question about details regarding it (namely what would happen with my trailer afterwards). If they don't care about it then I see little reason to care about it. -
You are liable for the load. This is something you need to addressSiinman, Oxbow and Mattflat362 Thank this. -
Nothing much else to the story. Broke down at the beginning of March in WY due to a blown turbo and had to take out a 10k loan to get it fixed, costing over 15k between the shop, hotel, and tow. Broke down a 2nd time in the middle of March in WA due to a bad fuel line connection (no fuel leaking, it just sucked a ton of air into the fuel system so the engine wasn't getting fuel) and between attempted road service, a tow, and shop visit it cost another 4k. Now I'm broken down again due to a bad SRC (thing that regens for those that don't know) and the shop is estimating 7k for repairs plus had another 850 tow bill. At least this shop is open 24/7 and the truck is outside so can sleep in it to avoid a hotel cost and OK is warmer.
That first loan and lack of income during March is mainly what's preventing other loan companies from giving me another loan to get the truck fixed. Despite me telling them I'll pay it off in a month or two since I plan to sell my trailer after getting the truck fixed and delivering my load.
Bought the truck in Sept 2019 and the only shop visit I've had for a breakdown before this year was needing the clutch replaced in 2021.Last edited: Apr 17, 2023
