    I saw a JCT driver parked under overpass no triangles. Wonder if they ran outta hours?

    Need a new truck? Counted over 100 brand new trucks in the yard being prepped or in line.

    Of course when I came aboard there weren't any....

    I'm going to h&!! for this but speaking of "extended coverage team" aka "Nightwatch", I get along real well with Smitty, Chuck, and Randy. Toria? Needs a brain transplant IMO.

    I shouldn't have said that. I DO apologize.

    Same here. Had my Carrier APU serviced and had starting problems also. I'm also having voltage drop issues, as well as it not cooling worth a crap. Then today everything seems to be back where it should be. Nice and cool and plenty of electrical juice. Honestly, the ONLY thing I like about the Carrier vs the TK is the direct current electrical. The TK's A/C was colder and though it didn't have a heater; my unit had a diesel powered bunk heater and that beeyatch would flat run you out on the coldest day. Carrier heat is just enough so polar bears don't freeze. Plus it's ticky about starting sometimes and the TK never was. Wirr, wirr RUUMMM every time. I have a heavy "hotel load" cause I basically live in my truck, so if TK had the direct electrical generator; I'd take a TK w/ a separate bunk heater over this Carrier any day.

    That late trip cycle can be a beeyatch to get out of. I totally get it. Been there, done that and got the "oops used up all my free ones" to prove it. If it's any consolation; from my experience - getting off the late trip deal is real tough the first two weeks, but then it all balances back out to manageable cash flow. I personally had to stay out two weeks extra to get off the late trip wagon and have enough banked for home time but that's not the case for everyone. Seems to bee a two week thing. If you can bite the bullet for two weeks you'll be back on track just fine.

    It's a Carrier so all you need is a Sledge-O-Matic and a really big screwdriver. Smack it so hard it has to be replaced. LOL.
