    Wiring and starter issues that have been known to cause fires. I have a copy of the release but since I'm on my phone it won't post here for some reason.

    Here it is.

    Dear Dynasys APU Customers:
    We have determined that a potential safety risk may exist with our Dynasys auxiliary power units (APUs). Because at Hodyon the safety of our customers is our top concern, we have issued a product safety recall on all Dynasys APUs installed to date. We have already taken steps to notify affected owners, and that process continues. We are also in process of detailing a technical repair process and instructions. In the interim, we ask that all owners discontinue use of your Dynasys APU system until further notice. We will provide all affected owners and all Dynasys dealers with an update as soon as available, expected by Saturday, January 19th, 2013.

    We urge you to take these actions immediately:#1. Do not operate your Dynasys APU#2. Disable the APU system to prevent operation#3. Please contact Dynasys customer service at (800) 289-8282 ext. 3 so we can discuss with you a process to disable your APU system and answer any questions you may have

    That's really good to know. I don't have the dynosys but was still curious on what it was about. Thanks for the info.

    I was able to meet the new GM ( Scott) today. Was impressed about what he is doing to learn about trucking. Looks like he is jumping in with both feet which is good. Makes me think he is really wanting to get this place moving in the right direction and keep it that way. I did ask him about getting a web site started and he asked for some ideas. So I'll ask you all the same. I have a few ideas already but still want to know what you all think so it can be are idea instead. Already have a page for maint. info ie. accounts we have and how to use them. A page for local directions to the places we go to. A forum so we can keep doing what we are here. A photo gallery so the ones that like to can post pictures of them with the trucks. Anything else anyone can think of? I'll give it to Friday and compile everything and give it to Scott to look over.

    Maybe tricks or tips you know to make life on the road easier. A list of decent places to eat with truck parking. Maybe recipes for cooking on the truck. Like a misc. section.

    Got a Broker Load going to Topeka.
    2 PU
    Marshall Durbin, Hattiesburg Ms (that place is an absolute dump)
    Sanderson Farms, Hazlehurst Ms
    Been at Stop 2 for 5.5h now.

    Prolly going home for a few days after I drop this load.
    Officially haven't been Home since before Christmas.... I did get 1.5 days around the 2nd, since I had a load delivering 30ml from Home.

    I just switched loads other night with 269 that has a dynasys and told me he had same issues. We need to let Mark and Don know ASAP. We need a better write up for trailers on QC to drop them and better paper trail. I am on a 34 reset. I come back tomorrow am. I sent a message yesterday said i am parked to do my 34 reset and someone needs to call me if i get a load as i will not be in the truck. I stopped back by to make sure the truck was secure and grab my pillow and blanket and seen someone sent a message are you ready for as load now??? Is it me or is someone having a hard time interpretting basic info we send over QC? This is a major breakdown and its with many issues. When I was spending all day tuesday getting my truck and apu serviced I got a call from a broker not the QC message and it picked up at night, now if i been up all day getting service I am not able to pull a all nighter. sorry my safety means more. more attention to detail on service should of been paid attention too. My APU was serviced after my truck and I think that was the breakdown. I had a alternator go out on my APU and service cost almost 1k. and over 4 hours, not happy but it is Atlanta. Daniel, you just want the website info topics or operations suggestions too? or maybe a suggestionsx box for company ideas in general??? Driver Awards, Internet and Cable TV in Terminal in MS.Trailers available and OSS log, Trailer locations, pet policy outline, internet in trucks??? I think we have the rest.
