    The APU is probably shutting off because the batteries are bad. Had that problem a few times, even some of the brand new batteries can be bad sometimes.

    I'm down in Washington Courthouse, Ohio right now. I deliver in Wilmington, IL tomorrow morning and then I'm off to Gary to have a ton of stuff fixed on the truck. I'm sure it'll be at least an all day thing, so if anyone is gonna be there tomorrow, find me and say hi.

    Well Gary couldn't fix the truck they said it needs to go to Freightliner for repairs. So until the AC is repaired we will be staying in hotel rooms until it is fixed. From Gary we headed to Erie, PA and stayed the night then headed down to Apalachin, NY to stay the night. Then it is off to Conklin, NY to drop the load. So far my driving is going good, I do however need to work on my 90 degree backing and I expected that. So it will be practice practice practice on my backing to get me better! I am improving day by day though overall as I get more comfortable and less nervous with how the truck handles loaded and unloaded. Today we did some mountain driving and it was rather scenic! Very beautiful country side here in southern NY and northern PA.

    jxu, my instructor and I delivered to Conagra in Troy, OH, which isn't all that far from where I live. We actually didn't make it over to that side of Troy considering we were just off of I75 and 25-A. After Conagra drop we had to swap trailers with a guy whose wife broke her leg. So he definitely needed to go home to be with his wife. We had an empty trailer and he had a load going to Marysville, MI.
