You're probably right. My best suggestion for the future is a long set of jumper cables. If your battery box is on the driver's side you can just reach the battery in the refer. Get it started, then set it to run in continuous mode until the battery is charged or they replace it.
Good luck.

WTF
We had some time between loads and were asked to do a re-power so we went over to get the trailer Nevada and were supposed to take it to the terminal in Fontana. Hooked up to the trailer went to weigh it and it was 81,500. Not only that but the tandems were all the way back not even CA legal. Told the DM no thanks we can't take this and got another load. Do drivers not weigh the load before they go? -
Big Rigg, short answer, no. We have picked up a few loads where the person dropping it knew they would drop it, so they scale it to get where they drop it, not the final destination. Also, consider that the trucks vary in weight. We have the lightest full truck in the fleet (those baby prostars aren't full trucks). Also, if they had a local/daycab pick up the load, the weight will be way off. We weigh, include the scale ticket with specs on our truck, fuel level, etc. Of the loads we have picked up only 2 have ever had the same thing in the box with the bills.

I know with us - when dropping - if the load is heavy and we are close in weight, we will leave a copy of the scale ticket w/the bills... we have also been given a load that we had to wait at the Henderson yard for another truck to bring back because it was to heavy for them - as if our truck would be SO much lighter - we gave it the old college try, but would have had to stretch out the tandems so far that we wouldn't have been legal... needless to say, that load STAYED in the yard - and our time was wasted (again)...
