How'd the rest of your day go hillbilly? I sure hope that it picked up from that ugly start!

After waiting for about 90 minutes, a road service truck arrived. The truck was running less than 5 minutes and $175 later (jump start).

Once that was done, the day was uneventful. I drove to Jessup and shut down for the night. I shut down early, so I started the truck just before I went to bed to let it run for about an hour. Woke up this morning and it started right up.

There's supposedly a starter sitting in the parts room at our shop with my truck number wrote on it now. I've heard that before.

So much for the new starter - again. The mechanic started the truck 4x and said it was fine. Whatever... I guess they have more money than me.

Malaki do what I did tell them flat out next time it fails I am calling YOU out and you can fix it were ever I am. I had a Air Compressor going out yet a certain fleet that is based out of WI and hauls ALOT of BEER refused to fix it. Well it went out when I was sitting at a Menards store making a delivery of something I think doors and I had to be towed on Thanksgiving Eve to Freightliner for repairs at triple time for the repair the bill came to over 3 grand including the tow. The next time I had an issue the shops were like we will fix it now.
