In that case it might be better for you to take an extended home time. You might just get a better truck as a result.
What should I expect as punishment... probably have to persevere through the constant qualcomm noises as they message you to near death for leaving them hanging. i suggest unplugging the qualcom the first few nights back in the truck or expect a few sleepless nights. but then if your load guy is a she,she may be flirting with you due to missing you.put your truck driver charm to work on her and start getting the cherry loads.you'll have to deal with her constant qualcomming you but it should work out to be beneficial for you and that bank account.just don't be the typical truck driver while being that truck driver. oh. she probably will not like the bathing in old spice or the brute so go easy on the perfume,er,cologne. edited to disclaimer my post- i certainly hope op is not a she.if so,transpose where applicable with he and all that which should allow me to kind of walk back my out of nowhere post. fair?
I know what you mean about the bad fuel mileage. This new truck i'm in did great in the beginning but went downhill fast and if slowly loosing power. Sometimes it acts like its derated but it dosn't throw any codes so taking it in to Freightliner is a waste of time. Maybe I will get lucky and get it on a Dyno when it's having problems and gain some insight. Good luck
