Climate Express

Oh well, I reckon that's why God created YouTube.

 

Either that or sometime when your at the yard have them show ya. I could walk ya thru it on the phone pretty easily. It'd would be a real long explanation on here.

 

Also make sure ya have the chain tightening tool in your side box. Its a t shaped handle with a square end for inserting in the locking cams to turn them.

 

Same here. When we had an ice storm in Georgia about 8 years ago I thought I was finally going to have to give chaining a try but dispatch told us if we even tried to drive on it we wouldn't have a job -- even if we made it back safely. Tnis

I bet we were there at the same time. I left about 0700 to pick up a salt load in Kanapolis. They have me hauling a serious load. Their scales said 80,300. Cat Scales say 80,580. Dispatch told me to slide my 5th wheel and I should be good. But like every other truck I've ever driven I can't get it to slide, so this should be interesting.

This was JB Hunt so it kind of surprised me that they were so quick to shut everything down. Does Climate pretty much leave it up to the driver to make the decision?

 

Picking up in Platteville CO and going to Columbia. About 12 trucks here all with appointments from 1800-2100. Hopefully they get me going sooner than later.

 

Your only allowed 450 over for the apu. Some places its 500. So be mindful when your getting fuel. Try an burn some off to allow for bein 580 over gross. Be careful brother.
