also you brought this to a "PRO SHOP" that does nothing but 18 wheelers,
just because its a pro shop doesnt mean theyre better, theyre getting paid a hell of alot more to work on fleet trucks, and trailers than what theyre going to make off of you, what job do you think theyre going to focus on, small no money trailer job or something that they can make more money on?
they would be more likely to get your trailer out of their shop as fast as possible so they can make some real money.
even if you have been going there for a long time, its still a buisiness, and they need to make money.
Perhaps you didn’t understand, the 18 wheeler shop that I had worked out of for 12 years are what I consider more then just a shop looking to make money, there also personal friends that I have spent weekends with there entire family. I’ve done them favors and that have done them for me.
At the time I took my truck and trailer there, they had an empty shop with no paying jobs at the moment. And they spent 2 hours looking and probing. And didn’t want a dime for there trouble, even though I offered.
They didn’t rush me out the door, in fact I had to leave to make another appointment or they would have welcomed me all day. In fact Gus invited me to his ranch for a weekend when I get the chance. There friends and didn’t blow me off.
The trailers shop that I let do the work is a smaller trailer shop where they only sell small to fairly large trailers of all kinds, anything from 10 foot single flat bed’s to cargo trailers of all sizes, horse haulers, car haulers. And so on. Up 40 foot 4 axel goosenecks.
So there specialty is sales and service of small trailers, not 18 wheelers.
So the people that did the work that I didn’t do are pros at what they do, because that’s all they do and have been there 17 years with a shop that is kept so clean it still looks new after all these years. So they are doing something rite.
One would think that after only selling and servicing small trailers in the same place for that long, they would be qualified to do a quality job.
I understand that everyone can make mistakes no mater how good or how long you have been doing it.
That’s why its going back, so they can check it again, and have the opportunity to get it rite.
I’m just frustrated that it’s been such a pain in the ass and have been venting a little bit.
My guess is it’s something simple that just hasn’t been discovered yet, even with all the work that has already been done.
Like they always say, it’s always in the last place you look.lol
