    That's the way I went in to Perryville, but my next load picked up near Jessup headed to Rockingham so it was south to 85. Now it's Raiford NC to southern PA, right up the west side to 270

    Speaking of inverters...I think mine might be an after market, driver installed. It's only a 1000, but pure sine wave.

    Yea, but you have to watch it...you'd be surprised how much idle time racks up drop-n-hooking, pretripping etc. I have a small air leak somewhere else. Overnight I drop both systems to 50 psi. Hope it isn't the compressor, but I need to build air every morning, but it's so slow of a leak, you can't hear it with my ears. Gonna' check the drain pulls and see if it's them.

    You will find little bugs like that..
    Biggest problem here is guys never write their trucks up and it does create problems down the line....
    I park my truck at 840 when i go home every other weekend and they fix everything i write up.
    Just last weekend I mentioned my left steer was just starting to show some odd wear on the inside. When i came back 2 days later they had put 2 new steers on and aligned it.
    They will repair anything you tell them.

    You might ask them about your inverter. Mine is an 1800 watt and Big G installs them. I run my fridge, microwave,cpap and phone charger on it with no problems.

    I feel like they were breaking me in slowly on loads. 1st load was 15k, next load 40k, next load 42k, this load 45k. Can't get much heavier without using my APU weight exemption.
     
    tow614 Thanks this.

    Who do we speak to about changing a log that has already been approved? Figured out I was doing something wrong (moving the truck too soon after logging on duty for a pretrip and it not showing on duty time)...I forgot about the 5 minute minimum duty status on these qualcomm units.

    Good Morning All,
    I have a quick question Tow614..........I live south of Franklin, If I wanted to be out 1 week and be home late Fridays and head out very early Monday morning, could I make a decent living with Big G? or do you really need to stay in their freight lanes 2 weeks at a time to average 3000 miles? Do they have local / regional lanes? Thank you in advance for your input. Jonny
