    I got it for the battery mode actually. I am having an issue with my batteries... It only takes a 10-15 min. before the low voltage comes on. Prev. owner said he replaced 2 batteries not long ago so I'd say I don't have a load tester. Everything else checks out fine and even with the low voltage on she fires without a hitch. Need to call my battery man and have him get me 4 opti' blues:yes2557:. Actually 6 since I'll be adding the propane motor/alternator ASAP. With cooler temps around the corner I'll get ready for adding heat. I found the same micro heaters LifeForce uses on their APU for $170. Over the winter I'll have time and $$ to build the AC portion of my APU which is more in depth and costly.

    I prefer the yellowtop deep cycles to the marine ones. Got two in my van for the system.

    Well looks like it was a short day... I messed up the receiver's hours on the first run. Well really they messed me up. I usually bring them soybeans and they're open until 4pm, but apparently they only take wheat until 2pm. Well no go... either run the 5 hours to VA and sit for 20 hours or go back home, 70 miles OOR (X 2).

    Guess I'm a wuss. :biggrin_25517:

    But darn, now I have to leave at midnight to get back on track again...

    That place has funny hours. Haven't heard of different hours for different products.

    Good luck. Think you will like pulling hoppers.

    They are just being nice for his first load.

    I've just started reading your thread. It'll take me a while to catch up with you. But I like what I read, it's very inspiring :yes2557: I congratulate and admire you for your courage. I would also like to have my own truck and work for myself in this field, have more independence (and more responsibilites). I started driving almost a year and a half ago. For now I am taking my time, getting more driving experience, working for Covenant Transport on Walmart dedicated account (which I consider the only good driving position and worthy working for in that co.). Next year I may leave Cov. and try a step up. In the meantime, will do my research in this trucking business (there's sooooo much to learn!) n will keep reading your thread. Thanks a lot! :biggrin_25519:
     
    PharmPhail Thanks this.
