Does anyone know which "type" of inverters we have in our trucks? From my very limited knowledge of inverters, there seems to be two basic kinds. Sine (clean power) and non sine (dirty power)... Not sure that I even have that correct.
Wanting to possibly add a few toys to my truck and want to have good quality power supply... I might consider adding a UPS battery backup to help condition the power supply prior to powering my electronics.
Thanks

Well, two miles from the little gas station that I use to park the truck during home time... And I pass a State Trooper sitting under a bridge...
I sure didn't think I was going too fast... I was fairly sure as I had just heard the chatter on the CB, seen him, and noted my speed (habit... lol)
But he said he clocked me as 65 in a 55...
Oh crud...
Well, the very nice and professional law enforcement officer took pity on me and did a level 2 on my truck and let me roll home.
Whew... Glad to be lucky any day.JohnBoy Thanks this. -
So, here is my week. I spent last weekend with my wife in Cincinnati for her sisters funeral. Then I left Sunday night to start my 3 drops, knowing I was going into a blizzard. Ran hard, 635 miles Monday, drop in Ft Wayne, Milwaukee and Hampton Iowa. Got to a safe haven and hunkered down safe and sound. Finally got rolling yesterday, loaded in Clinton Iowa, delivered in Newport News this afternoon. Now here is where it gets stressful. I had hometime and a week scheduled off starting tomorrow, and leaving on a cruise Monday with my wife for a week. There was absolutely no way I could get anywhere near Florida to be empty tomorrow. So how does Abilene come through? A deadhead move to a Publix 6 miles from my house to get an empty trailer, all 949 miles of it bobtail. Speechless, that's all I can say. I had a car rental all set up, instead I cancelled it and made it down here to Kenly NC where my clock ran out.

Sounds like a good goal and mindset to have as an employee at any company.
And I would like to think that Abilene would try to help out any of their drivers when situations like what JohnBoy has hit recently ... A death in ones family followed by weather delaying him and putting him out of position for a personal vacation with a hard departure time.scottlav46, Lonesome and JohnBoy Thank this. -
JohnBoy Thanks this.

Now, if I were the company, which I am not, and I was faced with such a situation from the other side of the QC, it would be much easier to help someone that is a proven asset to the company vs someone that always moans and groans and doesn't step up on the good days.
But that's just me, I'm a flawed human being.tractorman1970, scottlav46, Lonesome and 2 others Thank this. -
The company knows two things about JohnBoy. One he is one of the best drivers. Two he doesn't play. Everything he gets is well deserved.
mitrucker, MidWest_MacDaddy, JohnBoy and 1 other person Thank this. -
@JohnBoy - enjoy your cruise and if you could, please bring us back some of the warm air and sunshine!!!Lonesome and MidWest_MacDaddy Thank this.
