This is the 3rd & 4th time in LESS THAN A MONTH that this issue has happened! Not even Western Express has reached this low!!!
Drivers,the DEF tanks have electric heaters in them to keep the DEF in a liquid state!!!

Ya know, i want to be shocked. I really want to be suprised and be able to say stuff like this is a total 1 off we can laugh at. Then i look around at your average truckstop and realize the morons who do this outnumber the folks with even a lick of common sense. And then i realize its not even exclusive to truck drivers.
Still undecided, 48Packard, Gearjammin' Penguin and 8 others Thank this. -
Years ago I was a driver in Fairbanks,working for one of the cold weather testing companies.We tested in -50 weather.Not many problems with the def systems,just let them work as designed.No additives,no winter front on the trucks to help.
A few of the trucks got some crystals in the system and it plugged the filter,messed up a couple pumps.Lonesome and Toomanybikes Thank this. -
I think it's safe to say that those drivers were fired. I would have fired them for sure. Stupidity is worthy of a firing.
