FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

I've determined that either the compressor has taken a ####, or something electrical is causing problems. APU will start, condenser fan will spin, but neither the compressor nor the blower turns on

I went to the bathroom after I parked Monday evening and it was working fine. Sometime in that 20 minute span before I returned, it quit working

 

The carrier apu’s have always been garbage for some reason.. Carrier just doesn’t seem concerned about it either

 

Carrier said these new Aspen APU's were supposed to be an "upgrade". They're proving not to be. I had constant problems with their older units as well. Even when it comes to reefers I think Thermoking makes a better product

 

I feel like a Richard when my aspen lawnmower fires up. At least the tripacs and tks are quiet.

 

Which route would you guys take? Middle route seems easiest. You basically stay on one highway

 

Are you del. or p/u? If you’re empty not much difference. If you’re loaded, there are tons of small hills that are a pain, so then I’d take the big road. I did a water load back that way and it was a pain.

 

I was empty. Took middle route (AR-22). Not a bad route. Once I got on it, there were no turns required until I got to the shipper

 

My unit is fine, except the compressor is failing. Almost 400k miles, and this is the ONLY thing that has ever gone wrong with it. Usually, you can hang meat in my sleeper.

 

New 2027 trucks are in. Different head unit and air release 5th wheel added.

And guess what pile of #### isn't on them

they still appear to have shore power so people can plug their rigs in
