[QUOTE="BigBrownSanta, post: 492156, member: 11097"] I once ran out of gas about 30 miles from the building. Sent a message and was told a mechanic would bring some gas. About 2 hours later, the mechanic shows up with 1 gallon of gas and no fuel card. We both got a good laugh out of it. He followed me to a gas station and I used my credit card to get gas. This was back when the customer counter would reimburse us, so I was repaid. They no longer allow the customer counter to do that, but it doesn't matter since I now have a route that doesn't have as many miles on it. Another time, my truck wouldn't start. I (like everyone else it appears) was told to tape the ignition on. I asked if I would be accountable if the truck had an accident while I was away. No one answered. I finished the day by popping the clutch to start the engine at each stop. The hardest part was finding an incline to park on so I could get the truck to roll. On a more negative note, whenever a mechanic takes my truck for PMI, or more recently, for painting, they always seem to replace it with the worst dog of a truck they can find. I usually write up everything I can find wrong with the truck. I mean everything. With that said, I need to add that they don't seem to take my truck away as much anymore. [/QUOTE]
