What do you think of this overhang

[Signworksinc]

once it is finally excepted I can, but it is not in our name yet

Why did you get rid of your old truck(s) before you received the new one?

[Signworksinc]

Back in December between Christmas and New Year they told me it was all ready, so me and my wife left the family back and drove down to Kentucky, planning to be back for new year and load the tools and go to work by Jan 3 the latest. Exported the trade truck when we drove there in December and planned to drive the new truck back. I thought it would be just a week without one of the trucks. Spent our new years in a hotel, stayed a week because they were slightly delayed in getting it ready. Sam gave us a ford focus to get back to Canada and said his guys would drop of the truck the next tuesday.

We haven't been paid for the hotel, time wasted or even a simple dinner for the haslles.

Since Dec it has gone back 3 times, I haven't ordered licence plates yet. I drove it 30 feet to get it out of my way at the shop yard. The truck will have 7000 km when it gets back here.

I haven't been paid for any loses, they just keep sending junk to work with, I now have a 45' bucket truck,

thats what $9200.00 in payments and $1500.00 insurance has got me so far.

Man I sure hope that it does not catch fire and turn into a total loss.......

I would be getting the attorneys involved this is way beyond BS.

[Signworksinc]

truck is still not here, was suppose to be here this morning, still in Kentucky at Skylift.

[Guest signcat]

Get your attorney involved.

[UFB Fabrication]

Get your attorney involved.

I agree I would also have atty look at loss off income and related damages.

[Erik Sine]

Hey Rocco,

I wonder if they will put you on their Testimonial Link.

[Signworksinc]

to top it all off the truck is not ready or here. They have 2 days of OSHA/CSA standards testing. I HOPE TO GOD IT PASSES. It won't be tomorrow or saturday or sunday. I am told monday it will be here. I am using a 45' they gave me 2 weeks ago. 70% of the 5 months I have been with out a truck. Still I have not recieved a penny for my troubles. They have been telling everyone they have taken care of me, don't be fooled, my wife has a good job and paying the bills.

[Brian]

Damn why don't they bite the bullet and put the thing on a real truck? Every time I see an ad for these under CDL trucks I know they are walking a fine line with load limits.

[Signworksinc]

give them some time, it has only been 5 months and 7000km of driving

[HansonSigns]

I hope the F650 works better for you than ours does.... maybe once you actually get the truck it'll be "worth the wait". I really hope so!

[Signworksinc]

still no word on if the truck is on its way.

[Signworksinc]

no truck on its way, something about tornado warnings and not getting through the test

[UFB Fabrication]

The check is in the mail

[Signworksinc]

what?

[UFB Fabrication]

what?

"The check is in the mail" is one of the great lies and stall tactics used (in the states)

[Signworksinc]

it is a universal excuse, when its on the way here they add "maybe its stuck at canada customs for inspection"

[Kgirl]

what?

"The check is in the mail" is one of the great lies and stall tactics used (in the states)

...or...the dog ate my homework..

[Signworksinc]

still won't pass CSA/OSHA standards. Getting a list of what still needs to be done to get up to standards today for our people.

[Signworksinc]

5 months, 3 trips to Kentucky(Skylift), 7000 km, install/service done 0000000000000000000000

[imanut]

You better go find a lawyer. With the problems you've had - I'm not sure what the argument would be to get out of that deal, get your money back, and go get a different truck. Why in the world are you waiting? The lawyer can go for lost work, lost consortium with your spouse, loss of hair, etc.

[Brian]

who's idea was it to put it on a too light truck to start with?

[fishing nut]

If CSA/OSHA wont pass it it must mean that it is not safe. Only more modifications need to be done which means adding or cutting, cant be safe. Do as Gary suggested. Maybe get them to foot the bill for a real truck already together from Elliot. Will you actually feel safe in it when the truck is done

[Signworksinc]

my exact request was a crane at 75' and truck weight of 22,500lbs max. Exactly what was signed for on the contract. Don't let them tell you that I chose the truck. Do you install 24' pylons on a 4x4 post, no, you tell the customer it won't hold. They said no problem it should only way 20,000lbs when its done. . It ended up a 25,000lbs approx., I let it go and just upgraded my licence. It has been down hill from there.
