Hi there! Well, I woke up this morning with just a little bit of hope in being able to head out today. Well, at least later tonight. No such luck. I spoke with the service writer and she explained to me that they had drained all the tanks out and flushed to whole system, and now the scary process. They are now replacing all of the injectors, the fuel pump, some seals, and part of the DPF system. (Diesel Particulate Filter).
So now I am back at the hotel, and have reserved yet another two days. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not bitter or angry at the whole situation, just a bit disappointed that I'm not making any money right now. I really did need the days off to kinda relax and sit back and not think of work, but two days would have been sufficient for that. Also it would have been kind of nice to spend my down time with my family. But I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles here in the trucking industry.
One good thing about this down time is, I've gone through less chew than I would have during a normal day on the road. Ha, ha, I guess I am saving a bit of money that way!!
Anyway, I promised an update to everyone, so, there it is. It's a pretty boring one, but that's about how it is here too. Well, ya'll have a great day and I will keep in touch.
