An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

I wonder....with this Wylie partnership, will Daseke just assimilate Belmont into Wylie's glass hauling division.

 

To show how bad my batteries are, I got home last night and before going in the house I plugged in the shore power. With nothing running in the truck, my APU started about an hour ago to charge the batteries...with the shore power charging too.

 

Called breakdown today to see if my little engine shaped nightlight needed to go to the dealer. He found out that it was on because it thinks I shut down the engine while it was doing a regen. But I also asked him about my APU service. He said it has never had a service and I have almost 2600 hours(they want it serviced at 1000 hours)... there's your problem Snackbar...the truck has been serviced more than once, but the APU hasn't ever been serviced.

 

I also spoke to breakdown about the KW I was in that had to go to the dealer because I thought it had an internal engine failure like a wrist pin bearing or a rocker arm failer that was causing a loud rapping. Turns out, PACCAR engines are having injector issues. Some only require a deep professional cleaning while others, like the one I had, needed all new injectors. It didn't feel or pull like an injector issue, but it is apparently running fine now...so I didn't blow the motor.
