Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

god ###### ##### wind here in NE!!! If this keeps up after i deliver my 99 tomorrow am im coming right back to the flying j. Dont really want to drive with an empty trl in 50+ mph wind

 

Well guys have not been here for a while, been running very steady, and was even in the flood out in Nashville. It was a maze to get through there to get to shelbyville. With all that I am still getting my 3000 mile weeks. Freight is up all over, every company doing well, have talked to many friends out there with one company or another. I enjoy it while I can, like all of us I hate sitting, but you know the slow time will be here soon enough.

 

Hey guys, I havent been around for a while, hows everyone doing?

Some folks seem to be doing great on miles...2000 is a solid week for me in comparison. My DM is off until the 18th and apparently Ive got his trainee dm for a few weeks, seems like a decent guy though.

Of course, like all my other trucks, this one has a problem...but its a phantom. The exhaust blows white smoke but does not throw a CEL, Cummins is left scratching their heads.

Right now Im at a Flying J in Haubstadt, IN, gotta get to St. Louis tomorrow morning for 99 and next 01...then back to UT. Ill get an A and B service there to see if that eliminates my smoke issue, also gonna check my fuel water separator and air filters. I think my DPF filter may need to be cleaned soon too.

Roll it safe out there =)

 

I am a L/O and doing well right now. Freight is up, but when it is slow, oh boy is it slow.

 

Oh Hell no, not a good idea. I know I would sit. That is the safest thing to do.

 

Well was going to chat for awhile but gotta go.

 

I am assuming you tried the DPF Regen? How is your coolant? Always having to add some? Usually white smoke means there is a bad seal somewhere. At least with cars that is it. My trainer had some coolant leaking into the turbo causing white smoke.

Just a few ideas to check for.

 

the wind died down for a while but seemed to pick up again... thank god my 99 is right next door to the Flying J. I wont have to go more than 15 mph. lol

 

I am back and Good, happy to hear the wind is calmer. I am sitting at my 99 in Ohio, and already preset as usual, man I love it when it runs like this!
