I really feel for you, Dakota.It gets frustrating during a situation like this. I've been there before.Is there a income loss clause in your lease?

You must be waaaay beyond frustrated with that truck! Sorry to hear it, and hope they make it right for you - if that's even possible.

I've already had a discussion with my leasing rep about getting me out of this truck. Last week he said possibly if I am still having problems by next year they might be considering it. I am 5K away from warranty running out, so they probably don't want to get rid of it yet. I've been in a rental for nearly a month now. I lost alot of money yesterday, due to losing my load and also sitting and waiting for customer service and then a tow truck.(At my pickup at 9:30AM customer service arrived at 10:30AM, tow truck arrived at 3PM) Yesterday was a big ZERO. At least the previous four days were really good!!!!
I am not sure Penske will do it but I believe after yesterday, they should give me a break on my lease payment for December. Especially since the rental truck they sent me didn't have a liftgate. I need the liftgate and in my lease it states I am to get one in my replacement truck!!!

At the J in Haubstat,Ind.I had the mis-fortune of meeting one of the most negative-minded drivers ever ! And he drove for our co ! He claims he made $77,000 in 6 months at T-S in a van.....hmmmmm Anyone have hip waiters?

Doesn't everyone in a van make $77,000 in six months:rolleyes:

I'm not saying it is not possible, that comes out to $ 3,208.33 per week average, every week.But if he did those kind of #'s, why is he here then? I asked him this, and he just changed the subject.But he did have a Real nice looking Ford e-350. Nice wheels, dressed up real sharp.I'll give him that.

I'm Canadian and I would rather stay where Layout is than Montreal, heck I'd rather stay in Detroit...in Hamtramck...at night.

Detroit? At night? Not this guy!! It used to be great, when I was young, but that is all gone now. The "Night Creatures" now own the City of Detroit.

Hey Piper1, we are going to try Anthony's, have you ever been there? Sounds good on the web site. Special tonight is Buffalo strip steak!!
