It’s been fine. I haul a lot of frozen loads and has been doing well. Between the new trailer and the Vector, I’m using a little more than 50% less fuel. Even on a 90 degree day it actually hits -10 and shuts off. I have a door sensor on it, so that when I’m loading or unloading, and if they don’t let me shut it off, it’s not screaming away at high speed the whole time. Defrosts are also much faster, due to the electric heat. Since it’s electric, it can turn things off when not needed. During a defrost it won’t move air or run the compressor. During continuous it will cycle the compressor on and off as needed. And, during heat mode, when you need it, it uses the electric heat and not the compressor. It’s also a lot quieter and doesn’t vibrate, even during the initial startup or when it shuts off. I was strongly considering the S700 but just couldn’t convince myself to not get the Vector. There are too many things I like about the Vector.

Their DPF bolts to the existing holes that come with every unit and the software is already in the controller. The EGR maintenance on the S series TK units, that’s how they reach Evergreen status, adds 250 bucks to your 3k hour service.Dave_in_AZ, Tug Toy, RStewart and 1 other person Thank this. -

Aww man! I have a theory of trucking: the newer the equipment the greater the chance of it being hit.
I took a brand new triaxle reefer out to be decaled; a week later one of our drivers didn't hook properly and dropped it.Tug Toy Thanks this. -
It was bound to happen eventually, just wish it wasn’t so soon.

Sucks man. You're right, it was bound to happen but it sucks that it happened so soon.
Tug Toy, TallJoe and Midwest Trucker Thank this. -
Unacceptable. They will f... up something that's your livelihood and just drive off. Must have been one of those driver's shortage solution individuals.
