Still sitting in Georgetown Ky, waiting on truck..Say's it will be done today??If not getting a rental car clean out truck go home and start over had enough of this crap!!!2 week's and still not fixed, never seen a shop that take's 2 week's to replace head and install 6 injector's would not recommend them to do anything if it was my truck..
Click to expand...

Sorry just catching up on the board......I to had my head replaced.....toook 11 days......and when it came out i think it needs new injectors but cannot get them to see it......anyway 3000.00 in repairs later and three more returns to the shop......still not right. I get smoke out the tail pipe this in time causes the dpr filter to get clogged, then I have to shut down to do a manual regen.....had the head work done in mid Dec......and still trying to get them to fix it....maybe a new truck is the answer, but I do understand your frustration. :( to bad we can't just shoot the bad ones......might motivate them to do it right the first time........or better yet just pay us for lost revenue sitten in the shop.......:cool:

Don't just hate when someone says..take it back to that shop and "they will make it right" because they can never make it right...lost downtime is never made up....ya just can't get that back...

Morning all. Almost got a load to Louisville but was a little heavy didn't get it. Dispatch said they are trying to find me something heading to Georgia . Even asked if I would take a reduced rate and of course I would ! I appreciate dispatch in trying to find me something home

Good mornin ken, Scott. Little late gettin in here. Was amusing myself with the fedx rebranding thread in their forum. While I understand it, sorta, from a business point of view. It still makes me think wtf. I would think that they would be a little concearned about that illusive line. Anyways, just glad we lease to someone who has some sense.

Looks to be a nice day here in kc. Suppose to be 60. Still a bit windy though. Gonna get a shower and go get tina some new jeans then maybe some supper. What on everybody else's schedule for the day ?

I think those giant FedEx logos look pretty cool but I'd want more than $1k a year to be a rolling billboard like that. Nice modern look though. Oh, IMHO.

Ya they do, we were more amused by the no sticker policy. None other than the fedx logo. No OOIDA no EO, i dont even think they can have their own company name on the truck. Just a little much for us. About now we are thinking they did us a favor when they told us no unless we painted the box white.
