    You don't lose coolant except through evaporation or leaks, or bad overheating.

    The first will be minimal, and the last 2 indicate a serious problem.

    KW doesn't know what the hell they are talking about ... you should lose zero coolant ... Cummins will tell you that and it's their engine.

    My coolant level hasn't changed in a year ... 2 years on my last truck.

    I havent driven a kw but I havent seen a coolent loss in the trucks I have driven, only thing these internationals seem to like to eat is oil, 2 internationals in a row I have to add oil often.

    grrrr to add to the bull I called to find out what the hell is going on with my tcall and the planners are saying they dont want to remove the load off me right now since there is nothing in the area, the dispatcher told me earlier today that Lathrop is overbooked so I asked if I can just get repositioned since im not that far. Response "dont know who you talked to but the planner said nothing is going on there either so sit tight and the day planner will put you on the list" I told her 500 mile load and 4 days is bull and I only accepted since it had a pre planned tcall "I know how you feel sir" suuuuure you do.

    Lost out on miles today, if nothing tomorrow then I lose tomorrow as well and if im stuck with this load then there goes a chunk of my 14 with 2 live unloads Monday.

    Sorry for my venting but im just really irritated lately and close to just throwing in the towell

    Hattiesburg, MS. What was a live unload, turned into a drop. They said that it was going to take a long time to get it off. Very nice of them, since we have mt's there. SAMS DC. Took a few times doing a mac 30 before finally got something that I liked. They where all definitely Plus-1. One actually had a pu time 0347. In fact there was two of those, one at 45K and the other at 43K, going to same cons in WI. Was not going to touch that one, and then a nice lite load, only 163 dh and 800 ldd and strange times as far as pu. Finally got a KC load, right here in Hattiesburg, going to Romeoville on Weds. Works great with my hours. My only worry, too darn close to Costco and with home time on Monday, have this sick feeling, short loads.
