getting my feet wet in heavy haul

Thread has been dead.... much like HH freight. Headed north to the UP.

 

Oh snap! NO boot over the exhaust! Now that will get this thread kikin again.

 

Unless specified by the customer, we do not cover the exhaust. Unnecessary exposure for a driver to be climbing around 12' off the ground if they don't explicitly request it.

 

Im with ya man, I was just instigating

 

Are you sure he does not stuff a large "dogbone" sponge in the exhaust?
I do that because I only climb once to install, they come out automatically at startup and "stop the wind from spinning the turbo without oil" .
the receiver in often impressed to see it spit out at startup without the tape burnt onto the pipe

 

never lost a turbo due to hauling equipment with a stack uncovered

 

Keep hauling equipment without a cover, you'll get there...

 

been at it since the early 70's not lost 1 you do realize that new semi s are transported foward and backwards with uncovered stacks

 

Covering a forward or sideways facing exhaust keeps the rain out of the turbo. It keeps the customer happy. It covers your arse in the event the turbo fails for whatever reason. Its not that hard to do.

 

It is called customer satisfaction!
