Central Refrigerated Truck Stop

I'm going to guess you didn't know you can get them reimbursed? When you drop a trailer with load locks, you send a macro 1 with the load number, trailer number, and how many load locks were left in it, and that it was dropped. They note the load, then you can stop by any shop and get replacements.

And for the love of all that is holy, whatever you do, DO NOT BREAK YOUR SEALED LOAD TO GET YOUR LOAD LOCKS! If you do that, you'll cause problems for the next driver who's picking up your dropped load. And, if that person has any brains at all, they will call OS&D and let them know, so OS&D will call and chew you out for that.

Can you tell this recently happened to me?

 

Try and track your air leak down yourself, even if you're just reasonably sure it's in a vague area, like under the hood, or back by the drive tires. If you said "truck is leaking air" they will most likely give the truck a quick look and ignore it. Even if you need a federal inspection.

 

Lock kit is $100 and taken $10 per week. Ld locks not sure on price. I get edge and give them to students if they need them. Most trks have some. The retainer aka security deposit is $280 at $40 per ask. Also nothing is taken out til you go solo. The chains will most times b on the trk. If not see the shop. I just recommend putting them on before.you really need them so you know what to do.

 

ummm what kind of "edge" do you get? Is that a trainer special?

 

I think he meant to say extra???
I never bothered to ask for reimbursement for load locks. Always had too darn many of them. I would get to the point that I could not store anymore and then try to find other drivers to give them too. If that would not work they would be free to good home.

Once on a dedicated run I would go several months between visits to the terminal. All work that needed to be done on my truck was done at the Volvo dealer in Harborcreek PA. That way I could go home and pick it up when done. But it also meant that I could not drop off extra load locks. And I never picked up my jacket for my 1 year safe driver. I wish I had gotten that. It was a nice jacket.

 

well guys got my date and i leave out the 6 of june for central rfer is anybody going to atl for 4 days and then slc utah

 

it was bad, it was three blown o rings on the solenoids under the cab. it could empty both tanks QUICK. its fixed and holding great!

 

i was in wvc this last week and had an air leak right at the compressor. and i told them when i shut the truck off is when it would leak, they said they couldnt get it to recreate the problem.. guess what... it still leaks

 

Ok wise one. Still tryin to figure out this new phone thingy. I think I meant extra.
