This past week has been horrible. With 500 miles to go to destination the turbo blew out,an injector failed and was late for about two days with the produce load.After spending around $5400 for all this i was able to come out clean delivering the load......Just pissed off that i had to put this money right before the holidays into the truck, instead of a new plasma tv or a vacation or something else but not the frigging truck!!!issedoff:issedoff:issedoff:

That's the part of trucking that i just hate!..Oh well!

At least you had the money to get your truck fixed. It is always difficult to spend money on repairs, especially during a holiday season. I am glad that you are back up and running.

Thanks guys! I know there will be better times out there. I really hope this economy really picks up ,cause otherwise it will be harder and harder to stay on. I really don't want to think what will come in the first 3 months on the next year.

That's what I thought when I read it LOL. The TV money comes from your salary and the repair comes from your repair account.....right?
