    If you're still in the truck, could you please post a picture of the control panel in the bunk?

    There are no bunk heat laws.

    What you can do, and what I would do, is inform your boss that there is a driver shortage, and your bunk heater is not working and has not been working for some time now. And that if it's not fixed before your next 10 hour break, that you're leaving the truck where it is and moving on to the next company that's looking for a driver.

    If he's not smart enough to realize that he'd be better off fixing that heater right now, then you're going to be better off moving on to that next company.

    That's not much of a set of sleeper controls. It seems oversimple compared to what we had in our time. Loved the park button. ... lol.

    I gave my notice. Im looking at either RGT or TMC. Leaning more towards TMC. Not really wanting to roll dice for miles anymore. Ive spent more time trailer hunting than anything else here. Sent me to a home depot dc near the port to pick up a loaded trailer today and it wasn't there. I also was not authorized to enter the property. How do they not know these things before they send me these runs? So hopefully I can get away from all this within the week.

    That can take the heart out of any good Truckers or any one really. I am hopeful you will find a better situation when the smoke clears on this situation. Hang in there.
