    I'm in 1223, it's not that it doesn't heat or cool, that turns on and off fine. The truck in general will turn on like it's charging the batteries and then turn off an hour or so later, after it has deemed the batteries charged. Heat will turn on and off, but the truck may keep running. Only happens when it's cold weather. We will find out in a couple weeks.

    Don't know how much longer I'll be in this truck as I need to go to California, it's where I take most of my home time.

    Ah yah my problem was a little different it would run high idle and not kick out any heat or cold. Like it was charging batteries and it would do that for a long time. When I would get up and shut it off and restart the system the Opti idle would run ok for the the first and/ or second cycle then go back to the hour run without blower fans. Anyways I hope it's fixed. I also wont be in this truck to long. My wife should be teaming with me sometime in January or Feb. and we will be getting a condo. I actually like the truck it's in great condition and pulls great. 1.2 Mil miles and I have no problems getting it up hill with a load. I got a new radio Friday sounds great and plays CD's, last radio didn't play CD's at all! Come on Green Bay Kick some Detroit Bootie!!

    I don't want to get rid of this truck, just really having my hand forced. She's reliable, pulls really well, even took her through Colorado a couple of times with 40k in the box and she's still going. I always really like the way she shifts, real smooth.

    I'm hoping we can pull it out, division games are always tough. Can't wait to get the non IR guys back, namely Charles and Clay.

    Also, you should get 2500 miles no problem, especially with Shawn.

    Well hello everyone. I don't get how these shippers can do this. I have been sitting at a shipper since 1:00 this afternoon and have 3 trucks ahead of me to be loaded. I was having a good week until Thursday rolled around. I have about 2k miles this week. They could have told me when I arrived I'd be sitting for 5 hours plus so I could sit at a truck stop. This spot they don't have drivers lounge or public toilets! Because of how Shawn routed me I was late for this apt. here since I was late they put me on the bottom of the pile. The warehouse guy said they will get me loaded tonight they go home at 2 am. I'm suppose to go home from here for the weekend. The way it looked I thought I would be home noon today it may not be til noon tomorrow. Lol Anyways this shipper Guardian Fiberglass in Albion Mi. I'll tell you I'm making my list of loads to refuse as time goes on. My truck has been running good and they fixed the opti idle works good now. Well since I've been sitting here just figured I'd log in here and rant a bit. I still like working for Wolding just hit these brick wall shippers every once in a while. I hope everyone has a great weekend! Thoughts and prayers go out to all involved in this Ct. school shooting!

    Well between you and my Phoenix Fiasco, I'd say we are doing pretty well. With the routing, did Shawn tell you to go that way or was it the qualcomm? Usually I'll follow it but the other times if I know a better way, I'll take it. If it affects where I get fuel, I just tell Shawn and he will switch it for me.

    OK I win!!!!! Spent the week running through snow, First Wisconsin, then North Dakota and Montana. Got a load on Thur in Montana that did not del until Monday at noon in Illinois, talked to dispatch and t-called that one in the yard picked up a load of scrap for Neenah and was to pick up a load headed to Flagstaff. Well I get to Neenah and hummmm don't see any loaded trailers in the lot. I go check in and it would seem my load left on Thursday. I called dispatch, its now after 4 and they have nothing for the weekend. So here I sit at the Plainview truckstop having quality time til Monday at noon.

    I am however missing the Flagstaff blizzard

    Tried to make it back to the yard but my two left front drives did not want to cooperate. The tread isn't exactly street legal. So here I sit at the TA in Beto Junction, KS to get those replaced. Never good when they can take a piece of chalk and just right on them. Worst part is I'm not going to be in this truck much longer.

    Was going to try and make it to my fuel solution in Ottawa, KS but with a guy in front of me here, I don't think my 14 will cooperate.

    Tori, I'll probably see you on the way up to Neenah, have to stop and get some cheese for my parents and then head to the yard for my safety meeting.

    Flagstaff wasn't too bad, it was snowing pretty good but road crews did a great job keeping up. The wind was wicked bitter though, made my hands hurt. And Ican say I didn't take your load, I left out Saturday.
