I burnt my leg during my last home time and I know some of you used to be nurses, so was hoping if someone can tell me if the wound is healing or looks like it’s getting worse.

Yesterday after I didn’t take care of it for a week.

After cleaning it up, I put some bandage on it over night and some antibacterial cream

How it looks this morning:

You are lucky to get a sensor they are hard to come by still.

Funny enough, I had the nox sensor replaced just a month earlier then his time. So I must have been pretty lucky

Jamie leaves us hanging....

What was the problem that the shop found with your truck?

I’m known to leave people hanging with no updates.

After 3 and a half days I did get my truck back, they just replaced the nox sensor yet again and did some recall part that was unrelated to the problem. I was on my way, so far no problems.

They thought it might have been something else but turns out it wasn’t.

Called the dealership this morning to be informed they don’t think it’s the nox sensor that went out, and they’re not exactly sure what’s wrong right now and they’re going have to troubleshoot it some more after it does another regen.

Nice to have an accommodating company, for sure.

Yeah I was actually going to do a truck recovery for Crete to keep me busy while my truck was in the shop, but sadly that ended up not happening due to not being able to get a rental car in the area. But Crete is generally good at keeping drivers busy, they don't like us seating around to much.

It has now been two full days since my truck broke down originally, they finally pulled my truck into the shop late today and I just so happened to call for an update shortly after. They told me the NOX sensor has to be replaced, a parked regen completed and some type of test to confirm its fixed. So I should be back on the road tomorrow, assuming all that goes good.

My day wasn't so uneventful. I texted my terminal again this morning to see what the plans were for today, they yet again tried to get me a rental. This time they booked a rental with Hertz, and gave me all the information and got me an uber to the regional airport here. I arrived at the airport excited to be working again, that was short lived when they informed me they had no cars available for one way rentals. I informed my terminal, and long story short... I ended up waiting around at the airport for 3 hours before they got me an uber back to the hotel.

That's where I'm at currently, but my truck should be fixed by tomorrow... So I got that to look forward to.

Yeah I had a similar problem last month and it turned out to be the nox sensor. The dealership replaced it the next day and I was on my way. A little over a month later, my truck derated again. Lucky I drove to the dealership last night because when I woke up this morning my truck was derated down to 5MPH.

I checked into the dealership this morning around 0710 and they said they'll assess the truck within two hours. But that didn't happen. I waited around until noon when I sent a text to my terminal asking for a loaner truck or a truck recovery. They ended up setting me up to do a truck recovery in GA, but sadly there was no rental cars available in my area so that didn't happen. I'm hoping they get the truck recovery setup tomorrow, because it's pretty nice. I'll get paid $0.50/m for 650 miles down to the truck, drive the truck 250 miles to the terminal and then get paid $0.50/m in another rental car back to Jackson.

So now I am seating in a hotel room until tomorrow before I find out what's going to happen.

I really need to proof read my posts before submitting them… I always seem to miss an autocorrect when I make post on here. 😂

I just came off for and a half days of home time and one hour into my trip… my truck derated down to 55MPH due to problems detected with the after treatment system. I’ve had this problem recently last month when my truck derated down to 55MPH and then 5MPH the next morning.

I’m currently at a dealership Crete had me drive too in Jackson, TN. Checked in right as they closed but they said how they might be able to get to me tomorrow.

Although I’ve had two breakdowns recently, the truck has been amazing, I’ve only been in the shop twice now outside of PMs and for new tires in about 300,000 miles I’ve driven this truck.

If not, I think you need to. Waiting a month is ridiculous IMHO.

It is completely ridiculous! Crete would never make me wait that long, my truck was expected to be in the shop for two days not that long ago and I was already offered a loaner truck to keep me running and be routed back to my truck once it was done. It is completely unacceptable to wait anywhere nearly as long as Bruce is waiting, and I wouldn't stand for it, I would've already found another company. I can't afford not to be working for an entire month or even weeks, when a company the size of Schneider has extra trucks around the country.

I know I did a few truck recoveries when I first came to Crete when my truck was in the shop, it was a way for me to keep moving and working.
