    If you have a trailer with an ABS fault you can use the ABS light on the side of the trailer to give you a blink code and you can figure out what is wrong with the trailer ABS.

    To do this: Truck engine off, ignition key off, trailer pig tail plugged in, brakes set, put your foot on the brake and leave the brake applied during the whole test, ignition on for one second, ignition off for one second, ignition on and the ABS light will give you a code if there is a problem with the trailer. Just count the blinks.

    If you should have a trailer ABS light on steady for the trailer check your aux. fuse to the trailer and see if it is blown. If you get a trailer with a short in the power supply it will blow this fuse on the tractor and the ABS will only work over the brake light circuit and turn the warning light on in the dash.

    Hope this helps.

    Yes, they take drops...even unscheduled ones at times. Just ask if you can drop it if you're early.

    I take it all back. I was being nice to the cashier and ended up with a free shower. Sweet! The showers were really clean with lots of water pressure. The whole place is clean and lunch is delicious! Plus there's a big Indian out front! Lol...

    I've never been a huge fan of that place, but when you've come up from Dallas, middle of the night, ready to sleep since the state line, the oversized parking lot looks like the most beautiful thing you've ever seen.

    We used to get washouts from the pallet company just around the corner from americold and McCain. It was like 300 yards down the rd and very rarely a wait. Central has an account to so no com checks.
