A little west of St. Paul? Um. You know. Minneapolis is kind of an important city too.

Ended up dropping the load at Gary so they could try and fix my a/c. They got the truck in fast but didn't get it back for about 5 hours but ok I guess. They said it was low on refrigerant, looks like the folks at Ellenwood would have caught that, so we will see over the next few days. Called dispatch to see if they could get me a load as I had 4 hours or so left and after about 15 minutes got a short dispatch that picks up in Lemont, IL (south Chicago) and delivers in Milwaukee tomorrow around noon. Decided to go ahead and go to shipper tonight since they said I could park overnight. Made it with no problem although a pretty tight backing endeavor, glad the place was pretty empty to make it easier. Hope to get loaded/unloaded in a timely manner tomorrow so I can get rolling on something else with more substantial miles with some hours left. Certainly can't complain at all since finishing EVO 3 as my dispatcher has did an excellent job of keeping me rolling.

Hi Majestyk,
I am glad to hear that. I have noticed a difference also in the effort being made on keeping my wheels turning. Evo 3 was slow as far as miles, but have been getting pre plans before my load is delivered as a solo. If I could shake the down time I had from a couple truck issues, miles should be much better. I am in the refer division. Great posts Thanks. -
A good day today. Got loaded in under 20 minutes this morning, got that unloaded in about 15 minutes, got new load and had that one loaded in under 20 minutes so the shippers and receivers were kicking ### today which is always nice. Sitting in E. St. Louis tonight and rolling toward Clarksville, AR tomorrow to drop at Wal-Mart. Going to try and get there with a couple of hours of driving time left and before my dispatcher leaves the office to get something decent for the weekend.

3568 driven miles in the last 7 days, pretty darn good. Dropped my trailer off in Grantsville, UTah around noon and had a preplan before that to pick up in norther Utah and head to Minnesota but it got canceled and ended up with another one picking up a load of baking soda in Wyoming and taking it to Ohio for a nice 1500 mile jaunt over I-80
Having to do a reset as I have ran out of hours but luckily the place I loaded at was 4 miles or so from Little America Truck Stop so a real nice place to spend the down time anyway. Going to try and bust ### and cover 1280 miles or so in 2 days so I can stop at Gary and have the a/c worked on again as I can tell it isn't fixed as it started blowing warm air again while I was in the heat around SLC. Things are going well with the minor exception of the truck repairs but nothing that can't be dealt with as of yet.

Man, you're getting some nice miles. Good to see that. If they say its low on refrigerant, make sure you tell them to do a leak test. Otherwise it could be a faulty sensor for the system.
-
The last guy said he didn't find any leaks but added some refrigerant. Works wonderful as long as it doesn't hit 90 outside
-
I do heating an air condition for a living . If this problem keeps going on . No leak found .
Tell them to put dye into the system for future leak check . -
Thanks Info will do. Is there anything other than a leak which would be causing the problem?
