    Ask if you can tcall it in Lincoln. Otherwise they might be trying to get you close to the Dallas/wilmer yard. Lincoln can get busy in the shop. But let the am know you need to get to a shop.

    Have them put you in a ride you can drive with pride. Probably another cream turd puff like you are driving but maybe not have the same issues. Or may be worse. Threatening to quit every other week is not going bother a mega. Save your breath and blood pressure. They don’t care either way.

    Refuse the load. Reason. "DeLand terminal says the truck idles too much. Needs service."

    I worked it out...kinda. Pick it up, and t'call it at the Hunt terminal a mile away....after that, I don't know if I stay at the Hunt shop or head to Lincoln



    Management has hit a new all time high. It's only Tuesday, and already 3 messages about how to lower your idle. 1 from Deland, 2 from the brain trust...and only 1 reminder about the new recruiting bonus. They must think we are either senile or incredibly forgetful...why else would they feel they have to tell us about the same bonus for conning another driver into coming over here to this junkyard.

    You got lucky at redgold.

    When things are going smoothly, it's a decent shipper. When any little thing happens, it goes to.poop in a hurry.

    Messaged my A/M and said, t-call it in Lincoln or deadhead to Lincoln? Truck is going in the shop one way or another...and I warned him that it's gonna be a loooooong repair time with the list of stuff that New Kingstown didn't know how, or didn't want to fix. So now they have me t'calling at the Hunt yard in Omaha.

    Do they still waive the wait time for breakdown pay if this is a repeated attempt at fixing something?
     
    Farmerbob1, Speed_Drums and mstrchf117 Thank this.

    For those who are more familiar with these Junk-liner Crapcadias, when on opti-idle (battery mode), is the sleeper fan supposed to stay blowing all the time whether the engine is running or not(with the fan speed dial turned all the way to the left in the off position)?

    On mine I usually have to mess with the knobs in front on/off then the ones in the back too and finally it'll turn off. That system is totally screwed up. If you leave the ac or heat in the bunk on even slightly when you start driving the bunk goes into super high speed mode and won't stop unless you turn off the truck and then turn it off in the back. It'll just kinda retarded, all of it.
