Its been very few problems with the KW or Cummins its all those accessories that we unfortunatly need to survive...

    Paying for service or breakdowns

    In my opinion, if my driver does not have a credit card to take care of emeregencies on his own and than let me know the following day than I do not want him/her as a driver for me.
