Just fight already at the fuel islands at a Pilot :roll:
8) :lol: 8) :lol: 8) As harsh as Twilight sounds, its tough love. I agree, if you were in jeopardy of losing the house before the radiator, things weren't working. I do wish you the best of luck in finding a good carrier and hopefully jump back on the o/o that has thrown you off.

It can be hard to let go of something if you invested a lot of money into it from the beginning. If they sell it now it may come out as a loss for them.
Sure, it's a tough decision regarding the truck, but tough decisions still have to be made and in the end, the alternative is a whole lot worse. :?

Sharbear, perhaps your husband could go to work for as a company driver and either get rid of the truck or work something out with the garage to pay them something weekly until the repair bill is paid. Unless they did more than replace the radiator, they seem to have padded the bill quite a bit. I would not expect to pay more than $1,300 for those repairs including labor and all parts. I reworked a radiator on one of my trucks earlier this year for a few hundred dollars, but did the labor myself. I believe the last time I had a radiator repaired on the road it cost about $1,000 for everything. Some of these garages really take advantage of a situation. I hope you can get something worked out. If you are in danger of losing your home, then the company driver may be the best way for you to go. At least you won't need to worry about the truck breaking down again and not being able to have repairs done. Good luck.

Maybe it would be best to sign up as a company driver and sell the truck, since good business fiscal behavior is not a strong point for the OP. (pay attention to this thread Steve. You may learn something.)

Don't give up so soon on the information I gave you. He may be busy or out of town. It's only been a couple of days on the email. Call a few more times. What can it hurt?

Sorry to hear it's not going well. I've been in that situation a few times and maybe it's time to retreat, regroup and try again at a later date. If it were me I would sell the truck, drive for someone else and regroup when you get back on your feet. I think the stress from this point on will take a much greater toll on both of you then it's worth.
Hope everything works out and keep us posted. |
