Running with JCT, Part Deux

CDLlife is saying a car GPS is a good GPS to have for your truck....

It's the third on the list, I guess they need more videos of trucks slamming into Bridges..

 

Gotta love it when your reefer breaks down while checking in at the shipper. 3 codes. ETV Circuit, High Discharge Pressure, and Restart Null. And breakdowns favorite "fix" (aka run a defrost cycle) isn't available. The unit won't let it.

The icing on the cake is I have to wait for a TK tech from Fort Worth because the shops in Waco and Temple (both owned by the Ft Worth shop) are closed because they can't get anyone to work those shops.

Might be a good time to go back to school for reefer tech. Lol.

 

Its the same breakdown department that when I had the Solid check engine light on (Emissions), told me to check the windshield washer level before setting up a check in at Freightliner.....

 

Yeah my thoughts exactly, I just muted them for a minute, sat there contemplating the universe, then came back. "Yep its good..."

 

Turns out 2 of the 3 belts on the reefer shredded themselves. Just from old age. So, at least nothing major.

Tech is happy because it's an easy job and double time for the drive out and the drive back.

 

Well that was fantastic. Now back to it..

 

So...on another episode of "Am I the Only one That does this?"...

Am I the only one that if I get to a truck stop that's mostly open, park in a spot for a few minutes, then get that feeling of "You don't want to park here." Then move to a different spot?

Either its an end cap spot, or you can just tell that later that night it could be a nightmare, or you just KNOW you're going to get hit?

 

You're not the only one.

 

I have parked, moved, had a truck nose in park next to me, move again, have a load ### rigmaster park next to me, move again lol
