Carrier Maintenance Manager Involvement

[Nostalgic]

Not to kick a dead horse, but if you had done some reading here, you could have rebuilt it yourselves and been back on the road by now. Everything as described tells me that your husband would be much better off working as a company driver. That's not meant to be an insult. When he has someone renting (leasing) him a truck, managing his maintenance funds, and he's also relying on what other people tell him concerning repairs, he's really not acting as an owner operator. Very very few people with that approach are able to survive in this industry, let alone be profitable. The rare few that are, are the ones that trade in their truck for a new one around the time it needs new drive tires.
