    @kylefitzy, do you use the Peoplenet app on your phone? If you do, has yours started showing 3 duplicate messages for every message Arlington sends? I got 3 identical messages from Toledo telling me they had a load, then 3 messages from Wichita asking about Cali OD permits, then 6 messages when they dispatched me on this load. This started Monday after the server switch over. It doesn't do it on the truck's unit, just on the app. I have tried signing out and back in. Tried unlinking and reconnecting...no change

    I used to use the app but long ago I couldn’t get to to sync and gave up.

    We bought that trailer cheap and totally rebuilt the rear section with everything new except the axles. Then the customer we bought it for went out of business and we never hauled a single load with it. It would be perfect for the dust collectors but it’s less expensive to be 16’ tall then deadhead across the country.

    I’m 34,000 with the new trailers not 36. My mistake. I’ll be real surprised if I can get to 32 with the new trucks. Maybe.

    The “new” trailers are fb23xx. I saw a few fb24xx trailers with slightly different specs. Colored lights under the trailer vs clear lights in the side rail. They also have electronic Riteweigh on board scales. Still no ####in strobes.

    I know the fb23’s don’t have inflation but I thought the fb24’s. We in the past have ordered nearly everything with inflation. I wish they would do some sort of TPMS on the trucks.

    I found out today all the new trucks, except for the first 6 condos, will have a 150 and a 130 gallon fuel tank. I’ll gladly give up 20 gallons for a larger step box.

    I believe the mid roof double bunk trucks are exactly like the condos, just a foot shorter. I think the upper bunk still folds up and there’s a decent amount of headroom with it down. Still would have preferred the cabinets.
