    He's been out of the picture for a long time. Paul Will has had the helm for a while now.

    Out of dealer. Cabin (A/C) filters and vent filters were COMPLETELY clogged. Guy said I was lucky I didn't burn out the fan blower. Also the back pressure was messing with the A/C function. Now it's freezing me out of the truck on the regular side and the APU side.

    In company shop now for a new fuel filter. Then I can get back to work.

    Sounds like Celadon doesn't have a very good PM program.

    Somebody definitely dropped the ball repeatedly on this one; the truck has 482K miles on it. Dealer showed me pics...solid mass of dirt and lint.

    Got a load to Chicago, but it was over gross. Told to bring it back to yard. Waiting on another load now.

    Looks like I'm keeping it; local driver is taking it to get reworked in the morning then bringing it back.

    I never heard of a company that PM'S a cabin filter, seems to be the most overlooked item on a truck, usually a driver has to say something or check it himself like I do.

    Mine was changed once, and got 8th again 2 years 9r so later, that one disintegrated. Checking it myself is harder than it was on a Columbia. Need to remove a few screws instead of just sliding it out.
