    They supposedly did a service to it when I had my truck serviced in KC earlier this month. It has quit smoking when it starts, but it still takes 3 tries before it keeps running. Plus the interior fan growls at lower speed like the motor is failing. I have found that the thermostat is very inaccurate. I normally have to set it between 77-80 to keep it 70 inside during the colder weather. I just hope it stays running long enough to make it until I turn it in.

    As long as my check is in the bank every Friday morning at 0200, the name on the door can be Mickey Mouse express. Oops, my bad, it already is.

    I said the same thing when Wylie erased Moore from existence. Turns out, I was wrong. A lot of us got tired of being treated like the red headed step child by Fargo.

    For one thing, they installed it on the Peoplenet, which got a lot more sluggish after that. Another thing, on the Peoplenet, at night, I keep it on night mode, when the Drivewyze warns of an upcoming scale, it overrides the night mode and there is a bright white flash, then the 1st green scale screen appears(the 2 mile warning). Then it does it again at the 1 mile warning. And, then about 25% of Drivewyze scales you get the white "Pull in unless closed" screen. Plus it only saves the results from the last 2 scales. I have had both Drivewyze and Prepass, Prepass is a simple red light or green light and a distinctive tone pattern for pull in or bypass. Of the 2, I prefer Prepass.

    Very first truck I drove for Crete had an APU. Unfortunately. It was an older truck destined for trade shortly. Then I got the first of two crappy Internationals and the slide started.

    Think we need a new terminal in west Memphis. Parked there last night to wait for my appointment and found that we just share the place with two different companies.


    Parking was not available due to either bobtails in spots or people parking all crazy taking up two spots cause there are no lines on the ground to aid them. Ended up parking on the side of the building.

    Surprisingly found a spot quite easy at Kroger and am now just waiting for the call to a dock door where I'm most likely to spend 4 hours in.

    BH2.0 hasn't even gotten the temp change down yet. Picked up a load out of Chillicothe, MO. Every time I've been there, the load info says -1...but the customer has always wanted -10. Before trying to send in load call, I send him the updated temp, and it's 'maintain -10' so they can decide if it should be cycle or continuous. I get a message saying, checking with CSR. 30 min later, no message about any changes. So I took a chance and sent in the load call with -10...failed. 30 minutes and they couldn't change it? Why do I try. I am missing open deck more and more.

    Do you physically set the temp and reefer cycle on your unit or do they do it remotely?

    We set it, but they can remotely change it.
