Slight change of plans. I noticed a little oil on the bottom of the reefer pan when I picked this load up, which isn't unusual. But when I shut down last night, I noticed some oil on my truck frame, so I planned on calling breakdown this morning and either finding a shop after getting empty, or just have them send me to Indy and drop the trailer so they could fix it in a company shop. The compressor had a main seal leaking and the oil level was down to the MIN line when it was running. I called breakdown before going to the delivery because this is what it looked like this morning
Due to the amount of oil on my truck frame, breakdown said take it to the dealer immediately for fear that the oil level might cause the unit to shut down before I got empty. So now I am 20 miles away from my delivery sitting at the Carrier dealer. Ahhh the joys of hauling reefer trailers
-....it appears that they are indeed repairing the trailer, so who knows how long that load will be without refrigeration. Fortunately it's not a frozen load but a 50° chilled load.Last edited: Apr 14, 2025

Got to the Carrier dealer around 8:45, tech said it was definitely the input shaft seal, but still had adequate oil in it, so no damage. Got it repaired and leaving by 15:30. Delivery customer will take my load up to 19:00. Also got my next load. Pick up in Belvedere IL to Henderson NC for Thursday. Will put me right at 3300 miles for the week.

But, I need to find out why it started blowing, but only after the truck has been off for more than 5 or 10 minutes. If I leave the key in the ACC position or have the opti-idle on, it doesn't do it, even if the batteries don't get down low enough to start the truck to charge them. I have checked all the grounds and positive connections I can see without crawling around on the ground and nothing is amiss.hope not dumb twucker Thanks this. -
I don’t know if i have a very slow air leak somewhere or if it’s normal. Parked my truck Friday night. When I went to leave this evening, both air tanks were at 70. Governor kicks off at 125. When i first got this truck it never did that. It would hold air for days, maybe dropping only a little bit
