Handling the Cold...HOW DO YOU DO IT?

Easier to claim it than pay for a temp controlled load

 

Wow!!
Really? shakes head . . .

 

Reminds me of a customer my brothers company had in the early 90’s, would ship a load of paint Stock transfer from Calgary to Edmonton. Bill said heated service, so it was always put in a trailer with those old portable propane heaters. It would get frozen and they would file a claim on the load.
After this happened a few years in a row. Someone finally pointed out that they only shipped this load once a year and always on the coldest day of the year. It was old stock and they were hoping to have a claim so they could get rid of it.
After that my brother said they won’t haul for that customer any more.

 

You burn 13,000 calories from sleeping? Who are you? Paul bunyon? The jolly green giant? Some other ficticous character?

There is not a job in the world that a truck driver will do to burn 13,000 calories in a day. Especially since you were a door swinger for 2 or 3 centuries of your career.

 

Lol sumo wrestlers don’t even eat that much.

Trust me, it’s alot harder to eat 13,000 calories than you think.

Even 4K calories is a lot if you aren’t doing it all with baconators. I shoot for 3-4K a day and I eat a ton, well not a ton but a good amount. I used to eat 5k for a few years. That was a ton...

 

Just googling some stuff to make sure im not the one who fell on my head.

Anyway, Olympic eaters apparently go after 10,000 calorie meals. Ol boy is hitting 3k on top of the olympic eaters though. Lmao.

 

How many calories is 5 ounces of mixed bird seed? That's how much I was told to eat daily about 5 years ago and I'm getting tired.

 

You know, just a casual 13k calories to sleep well.

That’s like eating 15 eggs and a loaf of bread for breakfast.

3 burritos for lunch

A 3 pound steak and potato for your second lunch

2 whole fried chickens and grits for dinner

A quart of whole fat yogurt for a snack and still probably no where near 13,000.

Forget eating 13,000 with clean food. It ain’t happening.

 

Hmmm for a second i thought you were planning my breakfast tomorrow. Grits, eggs, bacon, tall glass of ice cold fat filled milk straight from the cow. Done.

 

This statement is not 100% accurate. I am not going to get too deep into this but wind can effect vehicles. While winds will not lower the actual temps below the ambient temps the wind does lower the time it takes to lower to the ambient temp. This can and does cause serious problems. If the ambient temp is say already below 0 the winds can reduce the ability of the engine to generate enough heat to bring the engine to an operating temp and actually stop the heater in the cab from working. I am ignorant about any new tech to stop this wind from entering the engine compartment. However when I knew I was heading into low arctic temps I kept cardboard to block my engine grill.
