FCC--Fremont Contract Carriers

I’ve had good luck with winter blades from TA

 

Something like that, plus getting the blades about two inches shorter always worked for me. Keeps the ends of the blades from getting that little ice pellet under them.

 

I buy Bosch Icons for all vehicles i drive, cars and trucks. Very impressed with their performance. The regular wipers would clog up and i would have to stop to clean them.

 

Gonna hit the road and take 61/54/40 to California. Anything i should be aware of on the way? Doesn't California have AG check stations or whatever? Driving into completely new territory as Magnum never went anywhere near that direction.

 

As soon as you cross into California, just before Needles is the AG station. Open 24/7. During the day there’s a CHP there doing truck inspections. Careful going through the desert and across 58 to Bakersfield, they’ve had high winds and a boatload of big truck blow overs the last few days.

If you’re going down the 15, the southbound scale going down Cajon Pass is out of the ground, but occasionally will open it for truck inspections. If you’re going across 58 to Bakersfield, the scale starting up Tehachapi is usually open and does truck inspections as well.

I’ve run out there for 40 years, going across the desert on 40 is a boring drive. Stay in the right lane and go 62 and you’ll have zero issues. Let Haji have at it in the left lane going their 70.

 

Have your B/L handy when you get to the Fruit Nazis (heard a comedian call Commiefornia AG station officers that). Just when you think they won't ask for them, thats when they will. I run open deck and brought 2 20k lb casks of titanium thru there last month and they wanted to see my bills.

 

Is there a standby mode or something similar on these Carrier APU's? On the Thermokings i had, it would automatically be in standby mode and it would fire up the APU once the truck got down to a certain voltage. I was grabbing some things out of my truck this evening and the truck was at 11.9 volts and it barely started.
