I guess I was just lucky because other than that situation I spoke of earlier I have not had many bad issues with APUs. Just keep them oiled and use some winter diesel treatment goes a long way! I actually enjoyed having mine. I guess if I had a complaint it was how the company programmed them. My last one would not automatically start up once I shut the engine off. To cool the tractor I had to actually turn it on. It sure was nice when getting back in that truck out on a hot day and get in that cool truck. The thing is though, just like anything else. The APU needs some care and attention from time to time.
How long would you go without AC

I like what R&L Carriers has to offer.
I've been with my starter company for over 2 years. So my next move should be to decide what I want to specialize in and then move in that direction. Nothing laterial.
The problem I have is a lot of specialized driving sounds fun. Most of the downsides dont really scare me off. Flatbedding, for example, tarping probably wouldnt bother me. I do 4 pick ups a day right now, labor intensive and I'm fine with it. But I think flatbedding would teach me a lot.
Also doubles, tankers, cars, it all sounds fun. I could even stay where I am at and be happy. Id rather not share a truck, but the pay is good. And I am saving my money so as long as I pay myself with every paycheck I probably won't get burned out.
My truck is getting fixed right now and my rooms are going to be reimbursed.austinmike Thanks this. -
I can handle driving without AC because I can roll the windows down. Did that today.
My issue is when I park. That is too much for me. It does cool down at night. But by the time that happens, I have already lost too much sleep.
And I also drive overnight a lot. So sleeping during the day? Lol.Western flyer Thanks this.
