FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

691 mile day today and never left the state of Nebraska! That doesn't happen often

 

Someday I'll get there brother

 

Pulled into TA Knoxville West with 5 minutes left on my drive clock. There was a big wreck on 40EB before the 40/75 interchange, so I had to detour around it. Still 663 miles for the day. I will drop in Columbia tomorrow morning. Last time I was down 26 was when I went from Michigan to near Spartanburg 4 years ago.

 

Having to idle my truck now. My APU itself works fine, but when I put it on cold air, it'll cool for about an hour or so and then turn off, with HVAC BREAKER showing on the little screen in the bunk. So something is making the breaker trip after awhile.

 

Funny, mine has done that twice this week, first time I ever remember it doing that. Hit the reset button on the control panel right below the HVAC OFF button on the right side then restart it, it should work

 

Found another ##### wheel seal leaking during my post trip, wasn't leaking a couple hours before when I dropped and hooked in Dallas, when it went it went this time, got a gusher!.. bad thing about disk brakes, maintenance free and they last forever, but you just can't keep wheel seals in these #### things. Oh well at least it's under warranty, headed up to valley to drop tomorrow anyway, so I guess I'll be going to Fremont afterwards.

 

A lot of those units have a crappy circuit board, and enough of those go bad that they are always backordered.

 

That works, but it happens often enough that it always gets hot in my truck, and I'm not waking up every couple hours just to press a button. Easier just to idle.

 

Guess I've been lucky so far mine has only done it a couple times and I've been able to reset it both times and not had issues after. Hopefully it holds out for awhile.
