Romulus, Michigan: Falcon Terminal

It turns out that I was right all along about the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) going bad in my truck. Unfortunately that means it needs to go to Cummins to be repaired. For what ever reason they won't let me take it to the one in Maumee, Ohio, it has to go up here to get fixed. After that it needs to go to an International dealer to get the transmission repaired, it apparently has an electronic fault of some sort. Between the two I won't be driving this truck for a while. They offered me a truck up here, which is geared for a Flatbed (no high air cone on roof). That truck was even filthier than the truck I am currently in was when I got it. I managed to talk them into letting me check out two trucks down in Toledo, hopefully they are cleaner. Now I am just waiting for my fiance, Tisha, to come up and pick up my stuff and I. I did make it clear that I want this truck back when it is fixed. Hopefully with everything repaired on it, it will be a while before I have another problem with it.

This whole thing is just frustrating because this is the fourth truck I have driven at this company, and I haven't even been here for a year yet. That does not even count all of the other trucks I drove for a day or so while one of my trucks was getting repaired. I just can't get over how disgusting these trucks are after some of these drivers.
