Meant to ask earlier. Who's sprinter is 272 ? Is that xiggis. Seen that thing with the front end all gone. Got a picture. Thing looks sad out there with no front end and no motor. Met alot of load one drivers the past 2 days. Ken, Scott, a guy at the shop today that posts here can't remember his name, and Nick and Jenny. Alot of good people here. Everyone is nice and seems happy to be here and willing to offer any help if needed. Top notch group here.

I agree. Not sure how long it has been there I saw it Monday so atleast sense then. If anyone knows who this may want to tell the owner so they can go and wrap it to avoid any further damage.

Man that is no way to treat a sprinter...all that wiring and the clips exposed like that....:(

Holy crap! I'll be shocked if they replace the motor and the thing runs. Half the wiring and electronics, especially some of the sensors, will be or already have been ruined if it's been rained or snowed on. It's a friggin' Mercedes, not a farm tractor. You put the hood back on, or tarp the thing. My, oh, my.

I need to know where that Sprinter is sitting, 'cause I don't ever want to take mine there.

You already made me mad. If you didn't ask about it, you don't know the answer, and you don't post till you do. Ken, Judy, I'm surprised at you both.

I gotta be honest here. Im just trying to look out for the fellow driver and that's why I posted something. Not trying to cause any trouble for anyone. The shop was good to me got me repaired and back rolling fast. I just wanted to bring it to attention to the owner. Not to pull their vehicle from the shop or for no one to not do business with them etc. I know I would want the same and brought to my attention if it were mine.

You just caused trouble for the shop without knowing the situation. You may have caused the owner to worry for no reason. Again, don't post without knowing what's happening.

I don't think anyone here had bad intentions. We all know what shop we are talking about and they have a long history of doing great work for our people and putting Load One as a priority. Let's not make a big thing out of something that may be nothing. Now everyone play nice :D

Well wolfman sorry your mad but put yourself in my shoes and the owner shoes. When I see something looks wrong I'm gonna speak out. If I'm wrong I will be the first to go to someone's face to tell them sorry. Not trying to put the shop out of business. I never said a word bad about them only good. They treated me nice and with respect. I consider xiggi a friend. He has been there to offer help when needed always there to ask if I was doing ok. I would watch after his back and anyone here's any time of the day or night.
