Glad I moved over to Poly Trucking

Yeah it sucks for sure. I'll figure something out. Cabinet door coming off or smaller fridge in passenger seat seems to be my options.

 

What did you break already?

Sometimes that cabinet looks like a cabinet, but it's really a fridge with the same plastic door as trim

 

1st day driving I had a engine mil lamp come on. Something to do with emissions but safe to drive the truck just get it looked at soon. Today I wake up and start the truck, it says engine will derate in 4 hours and had a red solid light on the def gauge(def over 3/4 full). After waiting on Michelin all day I decided I waited long enough and just drove to the dealership.

They said they ordered a cooling valve for the def. Don't know if peterbilt shop is just way better than international or if having a truck with 1k miles on it having a problem made them work faster. Truck got there at 15:15 and by 17:30 they had it checked out and part ordered.

Our trucks didn't come with a fridge. The sleeper set up looks the same as the pic I saw on the magnum thread. Except where the fridge is ours is just cabinet space.

 

Im assuming from the pics posted a while back that they are twin sized single bunks? If so, that extra cabinet space will come in handy. Gotta have a place to put the microwave and the crock pot! (Assuming theres an inverter lol)
Also, ive seen elsewhere that the passenger floorboard makes for a good spot for a fridge, if you get one of those nice (read: not very cheap lol) fridges that can either be upright or topload.

 

I know I miss my Magnum fridge. I have a house fridge strapped to my top bunk, but as rough as the roads are in the areas that we run, I give it 6 mos before it's dead.

 

Will the shop take out the passenger seat?
If so put the fridge there

 

That would be the best idea if they would. Guess I'll be asking them soon.

 

Were you given an option to stay in your old truck? I hope they don't jerk my old girl away from me as I really need the extra room, really like my fridge and certainly ain't no fan of going into an auto with tag axels.

 

I told them I want out of my international that I would take anything and they just gave me the pete. I over heard a conversation and they need trucks for new drivers. So I'm assuming they will be giving these Pete's out fast so they can give the newer drivers an international.

I would be shocked if they forced you out. If you have a maxxforce they might eventually though.

 

Are you not at Magnum anymore?
