Idling hate mail from the top??

This is whats starting to ruin this forum for me, these ######## who go in every company subforum and bash them and dont even or have never worked for them.

Ban idiots like this, they are just here to talk #### and piss people off they do not add to a conversation they just make it hostile.

If you dont like swift get the F out of the swift sub forum. *Wave*

 

It should work. I've never put a TV in any of my trucks but have heard (OMG I don't have actual experience) from other drivers that it works and is their preferred method.

Oh, my truck has spells when it will go 67.

 

I use to run my computer through the audio jack on the trucks radio. Sounded good. You can find 6 foot audio cables out there if you look for them. Now I just use earbuds. Drowns out more of that outside noise.

I've had my truck up to 70. Of course that was going down hill...with a heavy load. Lol.

 

SWIFT trucks used to have something called Opti-Idle. You set the thermostat to whatever temperature you liked, and the truck would turn on and shut off accordingly. Of course, that was like 12 years ago when I worked there and I had a Volvo. Not sure if they still have it or not.

 

You will be alright

 

I never thought to connect my computer through the truck input. Good idea.
But I like the sound through my headphones even better.

Getting the truck up to 70 going downhill will send an overspeed warning, and it might get you fired.
That is a speed that Swift will not tolerate. You might get away with it once or twice, but after that you could be gone.

 

Moose, yeah I know about the overspeed. Even been called to the principals office for it a couple times. Hitting 70 is something I try to avoid at all costs, I'll let it run up to 67 or 68 before backing off. The key is to keep your foot off the throttle going down hill. You won't get the warning until your foot hits the throttle. I think it's all bs anyway. Most of the times the speeds are within posted speed limits and it's short straight hills. Nothing unsafe about it. I've even had an overspeed warning going over an overpass. Figure that one out.

 

It used to be that if you had the cruise on and the jakes, you wouldn't get an overspeed. You could still get an excessive overspeed if you let it get over 72. I've gotten the overspeed beep accelerating from a full stop, but when I looked at the violation screen, there was nothing there.
