    This is just a few years ago I went the whole winter without going above l40.

    I did run into some black ice that year in between San Antonio and Laredo... Napped for a few hours and the next thing you know winter is over.

    Oh...heater crapped out at minus 1. Ran the heater in the sleeper on high and it did the job...only drawback was I had to drive with pants on...very uncomfortable.

    Whenever I run the bunk heater higher than 82 I noticed skmetsomekt stops running in the middle of the night saying it over heated. Also am I the only one ky or that drives without putting air in their seat? I can still see my hood mirrors without the air and it's a lot less.bouncy. much more comfy. Also truck broke down again with trailer lights issue from a shortage in my tractor. Shop can't find the problem so going to deliver this load during the day when my lights don't matter then head to a dealer... Hope this doesn't mess with my time off in Orlando on the 14th. Haven't been back in Orlando since may...

    Not sure what a skmetsomekt is...but if my heater was set at 82, my skmetsomekt would probably overheat to!!!

    Do brake lights and turn signsls work on the trailer? If they don't, shut her down.

    You have a driver's seat? I sit pretty low... better for circulation.

    Weather is nice, but I need to get out of here...preplan for Fontana to El Paso and San Angelo ...

    Yeah signals and brakes still work. But they don't run constantly like the markers lights and all are supposed to. Only when I actually use them do they turn on. If that makes sense

    Brakes and turn signal flash like they're supposed to but otherwise they don't stay on line be a typical market light for example

    Walking in to do laundry, got a great idea for retirement income... 20190105_064609.jpg

    You can't read the sign in the window but it says LYFT. you call for Lyft or Uber and an old Peterbilt shows up...too cool!!!
