Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Anyone know if it's an issue with certain reefer / trailers they need to investigate this its the 2nd one within a month

 

That definitely looked like a reefer fire,possibly a cracked fuel line.

 

There’s a few thousand truck fires annually due to DEF. They will always be a total loss because of the combustibles used in making lightweight vehicles. That’s about 10 units per day. Statistically a large fleet like Crete could see more than a few per day.

No worries though, it’s just the price of progress I guess. Never heard of a fatality as most fires occur while the truck is operating and they smoke for a good several minutes before becoming fully engulfed.

 

Just wait til they go to an all EV fleet and they self conbust driving down the road or in a loading dock.

 

That’s IF they can make it off the assembly line without roasting!!
Another EV Truck BBQs Itself

 

TA/Petro won’t allow CNG’s into their shops. They’ll do light mechanical work outside. Probably will be the same with EV’s. I’m sure most shops take a similar stance.

 

dispatch: so can you still make the delivery?

 

Yeah...."They're waiting for it"....
