Where, OH, Where........

I've had issues with my APU all winter due to the exhaust being routed up wind. The exhaust constantly gets caked with snow and ice and its a royal pain to get it out. If your APU every start knocking loud and has smoke pouring out of it just take a look inside your exhaust.

 

Wonder who got caught drunk driving again. lol You all get that message?

 

Well the APU fix didn't last long. Left Van Buren made it to Conway and it went again. I just shut the valve off, not going back for more down time on an APU (least wise not in the winter)

 

I think if you drove more and stopped less your APU wouldn't be worn out.. VB to Conway and you are firing up the APU already?? Lol...

 

That sounds like a challenge? Care to compare paychecks (miles vs. miles)? I'll bet I could give you a run for your money.

 

I think Frog is a trainer ,you might lose that one

 

I know one thing.. My apu doesn't run much until A/C weather kicks in. The heater doesn't require the APU to run and I don't have a lot of stuff running all the time to drain my batteries. The quiet truck is nice. And I don't spend time in shops waiting to get my APU fixed.

 

I don't either. There was another problem at hand and they decided to fix it at the same time. I don't hardly run my APU in the winter either but when I stopped on Conway the switch was still on and it kicked on. I don't like waiting my time trying to get that fixed. That is why it is currently not (and will stay for now) not running.

 

August, GA to Wichita Falls, Tx then on to Loveland, CO.

 

I was thinking about driving for USA. I live in western NY. Carlisle, PA would be closest term. I did train for years and was looking at doing that again. Can you mossy backs tell me if they run paper or e logs, do the trainees stay on the truck 6 or 8 weeks.Does the truck run like its only a solo truck or a team when you have a trainee? I ask because they did that at transport America ( that's why I'm alive today) is it a bigger truck for training or are they all the same size? Just curious about the particulars at USA. Thanks for your help.
