[QUOTE="local804, post: 491660, member: 1123"] The mechanics are all pretty cool and tight with most the guys. When I was a rookie(many many moons ago) I broke down on the road. The battery was dead, or so I thought. I called the center, they transfered me to the shop and we played dr on the truck over the phone. They told me to grab the fire extinguisher and bang on the starter. He stressed not to hit the battery leads and just bang it a few times. Sure as s#it it started right up. He told me to tape my key so in force of habit I wouldnt shut it off. I called the center manager and told him the truck was running and what the mechanic told me to do. He told me do the same and continue to deliver. Here I am inside office buildings with my truck running and only doing what I was instructed to do. I dont think I should have been put in that situation nor should have anyone in thier rookie years. The mechanic didnt want to make a road call and the manager just cared about the work getting done. If I only knew then what I know now. The mechanics are great in our district and even the shop manager.I heard that when the shop does the ERI, the mgr gets nothing but favorable and passes that crap with flying colors. [/QUOTE]
