    Truck issues. Mainly regen. My trailer is due for inspection which I'm sure will cause me more down time. I have yet to hit 3k miles in a week. I'm trying though it's easily attainable.

    most recently they did a cleaning of the art head because the truck was having trouble accelerating. Before that the truck wouldn't regen and would cause the truck to derate. They blamed it on a broken clip on the sensor that measures dpf air flow. They replaced the clip and guess what? Two days later i was in the shop again for the same issue... Guess it wasn't a broken clip after all. Freakin idiots they just wanted an easy fix to get me on road.

    Who has 389's ?

    Speaking of companies, what's up with all the green 386's sitting at your the Joliet terminal? No one want to drive them?
