    Call the Shop, I'm sure they would help you out. If any Warranty work was done Rihm will have the records for that. I can tell you that Full Synthetic Amsoil is what we use and they change the oil at 50,000 miles with grease job every 25,000. They do take oil samples as well.

    If you haven't driven one of the KW's with a load I would encourage you do to that before you pull the trigger. I personally can't stand the auto's in those especially when backing with a heavy load, you can't go slow. It's either go fast or slow and it's bouncing in and out of gear.

    Yes, Fridge/Freezer. We also have bunk heaters in every truck, so idle time should be low.

    The "results" that come to mind is an immediate need for earplugs (for imminent ear full) and/or helmet (for the imminent frying pan).

    Halvor is a typical big fleet looking for robots. Yeah, the guy screwed up threatening physical violence. I would have threatened to call the police.

    Just wondering is Halvor related to Sue Vinje Trucking.

    I ask because for awhile they had same equipment , nearly same colors similar logos, and both based outta Duluth/Superior?

    They are one and the same, since 2015. I believe she is in management. Not a fun person to work with, from what I've read.
     
    Need4Speed and Uncle Birchy Thank this.
