5 Pieces of Equipment I REGRET Buying
What happens here
The speaker recounts his pride in purchasing his first brand-new Freightliner FL112 dump truck, which cost over $100,000. He specifically opted for the Eaton AutoShift transmission to make long working hours easier. However, the transmission proved to be a 'complete and utter failure' due to the excessive force required to engage the clutch at every stop. His father, who was driving the truck, complained to the Freightliner dealership, only to be met with disrespectful remarks about his weight. The speaker condemns this treatment and still owns the problematic truck, describing it as a 'big massive regret'.
Goal: N/A - Sharing a negative product experience.
