    Johnboy, I didn't use the harness cause It's a 110 ac refrigerator so I plunged it in to the per wired outlets in the truck it only uses 250 watts 300 at start up, I have a 1200 watt inverter.

    Oh, ok. I have an APU so I thought I would get it wired into the trucks wiring.. The shop doesn't allow inverters if you have an APU.

    I love being home every night and weekend, but I do miss driving for Calex, especially when I read the posts here (not to include John's mechanical issues) which pretty much sucks. Hope they get you running soon John.

    Me too. I guess with what is being done, I should be rolling Tueaday morning. I figure I'll leave around noon tomorrow and get a motel up there again then pick up the truck Tuesday morning. Making no money but sure enjoy the house and wife.

    Ok. I'll take a look when I get back in it. My last truck had a male female set up from the fridge to the wiring harness.

    This is a great thread really enjoyed the reading and everyone your pictures and trucks look great!

    Couple questions do they hire new students and do they have a school or must have experience?

    What are the chances of getting a Volvo 780 those trucks are the best!

    Is it constant 48 states or would you stay in one location longer than another
