My new career with Superior Carriers begins!

The truck I got has 243k miles on it. It had the problem of the engine "running away", revving real high and smoking like crazy until it shut down completely. So bad the someone called the fire department thinking it was on fire. It stayed at International for a while getting all the issues fixed. Seems to run pretty good now. And yes it has the Eaton Fuller transmission! Night and day difference.

I have not heard from the terminal today so far as to when they will have a load for me. Not sure how big of a hurry I am to get back out with everyone getting hammered with snow up north. I will gladly take a dedicated load down to Miami though hint hint dispatch!

 

So if I start having to add coolant on a regular basis even though I don't see a leak or puddle on the ground, more than likely this would be the problem? Did you have any kind of light come on the dash other than the check engine light?

 

I will make sure I keep an extra good watch on it then and carry plenty of extra anti-freeze just in case. Hopefully I won't have to deal with this any time soon. Thanks for the info.

 

Looks like I will be doing a dedicated run out and back for Thursday/Friday so I assume I will be off for the weekend. That is cool. I sure hope it warms up some by then. I want to work on my Jeep some. Sick of this cold weather. Come on Spring, I am ready for you.

 

Well I did not get to work on the Jeep as I would have liked but I did get some extra miles in this past Sunday. After delivering my dedicated load, I got a dispatch for Sunday picking up in Winder and delivering in Greensboro NC the same day. Got that delivered Sunday afternoon and got a load out of Reidsville NC going back to Georgia in Calhoun. Got that delivered this morning at 7am and was able to get back to the tank wash then Winder before traffic became a holy nightmare.

We had some snow and sleet hit the Atlanta area around 12 noon today and I guess everyone thought it was time to play bumper cars. I heard on the radio news by the time I got back to Winder that traffic was pretty well done. Thank goodness I was able to come home for the rest of the day.

Pick up another dedicated load tomorrow for Thursday delivery in Indiana. Hope to work Friday local if they have something for me. If not I should have off Friday-Sunday. Told dispatch I wanted to be home to watch the Superbowl if possible. Looks like it should happen. Maybe I can get some work done on the Jeep
