    How many miles does that truck have? I dont think you should be worried about batteries.

    I dont think you should be having battery problems already with that mileage. Do you have anything hooked up when the truck is off

    The night I needed a jump, I ran a fan in the sleeper, the radio, and my coleman cooler and the inverter was on with no load.

    The night it almost needed a jump, the coleman, the radio and the inverter. Engine was only off 5 hours. When I go back out I will try turning off the inverter and see what that does.

    Do you live in Tampa area? I heard they don't hire in Florida any more. How are miles? Any trouble getting home?

    I work for Robbie D wood out of dolomite Alabama... We are a hazardous waste transporter.... Getting home is usually not a problem, since it's usually a broker load.. coming out is usually at a Bartow ... Our customer... I get percentage of the load pay so Miles usually don't mean too much... I lost the broker load pays really bad!!!
