Diary of a current Swift flatbed driver

Alright, alright I accept defeat, how do you idle these trucks? 2010 columbia. No one ever showed me and apparently I am too dumb to figure it out.

 

I got the shop to kill my idle timer, but if I remember correctly it was the clutch and brake together when the engine light starts flashing.

 

Oh, and AZS? Don't feel like a moron. I called the Phoenix shop one night shortly after I got the truck. Phoenix had no idea either. They also swear the mattresses are all the same size

 

Trying. I was just pushing the clutch to obviously no avail.

 

I think that did it! Thanks dieselgirl!! I owe you something, my best bungee strap lol.

 

LOL! What can I say, I have a soft spot for helping my fellow Swifties

 

I was watching Modern Marvels on the History Channel the other day. They were showcasing chains and ropes and such. Anyway, showed a truck driver delivering a coil or spool of thick wire to a factory where they make chain. I thought it was fascinating to see all the miles of this stuff stretching out and going into a machine that folds the wire over and spot welds it around another link after another.

 

I jsut tap the throttle peddle when the lights are blinking.
