Really, at this point I'd call Freightliner and run the situation by them. It can't hurt and they just may get things going.

My experiences, while not always great, haven't been as bad. But, I did find out once that telling them you're going to call corporate can grease the wheels. Have you talked to Freightliner? I'm also wondering why you didn't go to a Detroit shop. The little bit that's been done to mine has been...

I'm not sure if it was the same storm, but the time frame sounds about right. I was working for an outfit that made pallets and wooden boxes in Livonia, MI. We did a lot of work for Guardian Glass down in Carlton. I had done a couple of runs and was on my way back to the yard. It was starting to...

I agree that this is probably the best option you have. Putting a driver in it is just a potential for headaches that will make the situation worse. I just can't see the miracle you are hoping to find. Really, would pay more for something than it's worth?

Go easy guys... He seems bound and determined to make the excessive deadhead business model work, and one day he may just surprise us all! Or not...

LOL... Yeah, right! Rocket didn't even know who Steve McQueen was.

160,000 lb. trucks sure can't be doing much good.
