    Sounds about right. Seems like stuff always gets hosed up in the summer when folks start going on vacation.

    Started my day with my unload. People with black hard hats, black shirts and m16 type rifels. Funny how I watch them work watching me.

    So, you've been sitting in the yard waiting for your load! I wondered where you've been ;-)

    Ended up waiting 4.5 hours. I'll still get it there on time.

    Nothing like sitting around on I80, then being taken off at the nearest xt, due to a bull wagon crashing, and what's left .... alive, of his cargo wandering around. Then...... I take a wrong turn, and end up making one big circle, right back to where I got off the interstate. SMH

    Well, I made it here, parked, ate and now I wait to unload in the early morning hours. Then to Indy for a load going back to Omaha. Fun, fun, fun...lol.

    So..... who's the Apu tech on here? AC not working. Everything seems to be working except that the compressor isn't kicking on. Any ideers?

    Never dealt with one but I seem to remember someone on here talking about a fuse or relay that's hidden on them.

    Its the same basic system any vehicle has. Could be everything from a blown fuse to low freon to a bad pressure switch.
