Description of the problem	I drive a tractor trailer for r. L. Smith trucking 169 enterprise dr. Wentzville mo. I have been telling richard & eric smith that i have been smelling something burning in my truck. They keep blowing me off saying "you & your smells". Finally i took it to kenworth of joplin mo & they told me it was the gasket on the main part of the exhaust behind the twin turbos. I called richard (1-3-09) & told him what they found. Richard said he is not getting it fixed until i finish my run & he will look at it when i get in. Kenworth of joplin said they could have fixed the problem that night, but i was told not to have it fixed. I also told richard that my check engine light came on 12-31-08 & he said he would have eric put it on the computer. They never did. It seams that richard smith fixes all the men's trucks, but puts mine off all the time.
