This forum and the help we receive is a game changer for us. Information is king.

Cummins is not or friend or partner, this is a business and surviving the hurdles thrown at us in today’s engine and profit environment is not great odds.

Caterpillar is proud of there parts, and the platform has been around long enough, good mechanics know them well, but do not freely share there information. We’re at there mercy.

We probably will not get rich in trucking, and I’m saddened to say most will not survive financially nor support a solid retirement with the cards dealt with the level of mechanical service and expense that has became so rampant in this industry.

I’m fourth generation in this business and looking at the end game, just want to keep what I’ve acquired and be comfortable at this point.

This forum gives me hope that we can make this livelihood work to our benefit.

Well said, and spot on. Thank you.
