ALSO, THE CONTACT CONTACTED CUMMINS, WHO REFERRED HIM TO THE PETERBUILT DEALER, BUT THEY ADVISED THE CALLER THAT THEY WON'T DO THE WORK BECAUSE CUMMINS WAS NOT PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS. THEY STATED THAT CUMMINS WAS ONLY PAYING FOR 3 HOURS OF LABOR AND IT TOOK ABOUT 8 HOURS OF LABOR TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT HAD ONE BUS AT AN AUTHORIZED CUMMINS DEALER IN ANOTHER CITY, AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO REPAIR IT, AND WON'T BE ABLE TO REPAIR ANYMORE.
