    Mine died about 4 or 5 weeks ago. Been doing it old school since then. Well, a bit of help on the local directions from good ole Google maps.

    While trying to get to sleep in this sauna, I reread the FMC regs on logging. I have to ask, if we logged as we're supposed to, how would we have any 70 left?

    Guess I'll end up in jail for 5 months of false logs.

    Set your Cruise Control to on... My truck will not idle at any speed and instead of fixing it that's what they told me to do. And it works.

    That doesn't work on every truck. My old truck wouldn't idle, even at -10 degrees because it always thought it was around 40 degrees because of the engine heat. And KD is right, those parameters for idling suck. @KD5AXG ill pm you.
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy, KD5AXG and chralb Thank this.

    Empty monday at halls in afternoon. Sent in couple messages, but nothing, not even a we will get ya something tomorrow. Go to service plaza on njtp, 830am send in one saying ready to roll. 915 asked if there was a plan besides sit in nj all day.

    Planner msgs me saying booked a load, will have it over soon. Then one saying. Broker is taking to long. Come back to richmond

    1469 still has injector issues. Running rough weak and shaking some. Ended up switching trucks to another mack.

    Found trailer for current load, audible air leak from tire. Notify shop. Go home for nap. Return and roll. Get to baltimore tunnel and BOOM!! Blew different tire on trailer. 5 inch gash in the side wall. Currently at TA getting it changed. Load will be late, not HP.

    We have to bring old ones back right?
