Don't be afraid to idle your truck if it's so hot the apu won't keep up.

 

Yeah i’ve been using my apu like crazy.

 

I can't guarantee it'll work but if ya ever need to just set the trailer brake. Leave tractor brake released. Bump cruise up an see if the newer trucks will idle without shutting down. If that don't work chock the tires an release both brakes an bump up the cruise. We've had trucks there that would idle one way or the other. Our idle shutdown is turned off in our computer. They should all be like that cuz the apu won't always keep up in extreme heat.

 

It was 98 when I arrived in Union for orientation Sunday. Surprised me a bit.

 

Sweaty...holding it in the warehouse beside the shop. Two fans to blow around the hot air and help the sweat evaporate. The people here are classy though and I sense that they're really rooting for us to succeed. Still waiting on drug test results and truck assignments. Hopefully we can all head out by noon Wednesday. I'm new to reefers and elogs, so I sense a learning curve coming. Hopefully Rob and my dispatcher will be patient with me. Hope all y'all are on the move and staying cool.
