If you're not in the truck, like my home time, they would rather you put the APU on battery mode. That way it gets an occasional warm up and lasts...

Nothing ticks me off more than seeing drivers watching movies going down the road. Except for the Walgreens driver on his handheld gaming device...
Yes, TA app sucks. Pilot and Loves apps work for fueling 90% of the time. Sometimes they have issues with connecting to a server. CAT scale app...
I picked up in City of Industry Monday. Had to take a 34 on the way to Mineola, TX. They set the delivery appointment for 6am tomorrow. No plan...

What's the point of calling them night dispatch if they can't actually dispatch anything? That happens during the day too though. Either the...
