    That sounds ominous, like they know exactly what you are going to experience at that receiver.

    Are you idling the truck low for A/C? It should idle at 900-1100rpm when doing 10hr break to not wet stack the engine/exhaust.

    But you just gave a hint.
    Isn't that against the rules?
    Kind of like saying no while actually saying yes, while trying to say... and all that.

    A whole movie could be created from these last couple posts.
    AI tracking the movements of trucks, coupled with comments in trucker forums or other social media, to determine the high value loads worth targeting.

    It might make for a good movie, but we all know things like Gattaca and 1984... I, Robot or The Matrix... could never happen in real life.

    And there you have my latest rant on the current state of the world.
    So, dptrucker, where do you think I am right or wrong?
     
    dptrucker Thanks this.
