I had my first truck troubles today, the starter went out on it. I was at our Carlisle OC having a problem fixed on the trailer I had when my starter went out, right in front of the shop... rofl-3.gif

So they gave me a loaner truck to finish delivering my load which was to a place in Carlisle as well, then booked me a hotel room since my truck wasn't supposed to be in the shop until the 24th, but by the time I got back... It was in the shop!shocked.png

But they said I could stay in the room tonight anyways to get a good night sleep and go pick my truck up tomorrow. So nothing to bad!

Well it's a real bummer about the starter, but the timing was exceptionally good. It's great they were able to get to it right away, enjoy that extra long hot shower and room enough to really stretch when you get up in the morning.
