How long would you go without AC

It has a little light to for rummaging.
So you look extra cool

By cool I mean super lame.

 

how long 10 minutes then I’m pulling over starting truck off and on if that don’t work going to shop #### that if it’s hot I have a expensive Gibson guitar dosent like hot temps

 

I went years without ac when I started driving, and I’m still here to talk about it....

 

Same here but if it had been available in those days I would have been first in line to get it.

Ancient history side note...The last contract we had with PIE required all new equipment to have air conditioners. That was fine except that nowhere in the contract did it it require that those air conditioners be fixed when they broke down. They broke down pretty quick, too.
Teamsters kinda dropped the ball on that one and we all went back to sweating again,
Two years later PIE went out of business and I went to work where I am now. We had...and still have...good air conditioners. We fix 'em, too.

 

I paid my dues when I began trucking in 83.71 international transstar only a.c. was the famous 2/60...2 Windows down and 60 mph.Never again!Home nightly but.. Beef loaded slip sheet..no gym membership needed.

 

how long with no a/c this time of year? how long does a pretrip take?

 

Does the AC work on and off intermittently while driving? If so pull over and raise the hood. I drove a T680 once that the little connector to the compressor would jar loose sometimes. It was plugged in, just like it was a sloppy plug.

 

I haven't had A/C in 3 weeks. I avoid large nasty pickle parks. Been sleeping in a hammock under my trains here in Michigan or the lead or pup if i split them out of state. Fan and windows down. Had a guy tell me today how nice my black w9 is. Haha #### thing turns into an oven.
