    Up and at 'em!

    APU air conditioning went out last night. How is it the temp in the truck stays 15° warmer than outside with all the vents open in the summer, but in the winter with everything shut tight it won't hold heat for more than a few minutes? I think my trucks are conspiring with each other to kill me.

    Chilling at the Econolodge since I couldn't get the APU fixed today. They're gonna get me a load in the morning and get it fixed in transit.

    wait I'm confused isn't this the same storyline as the previous company- ie just load it and worry about fixes down the road

    That's why I'm not a big fan of APU's. And dealing with Thermo King can be a real pain.

    Meh. It's better to fix it in transit while making money than sit around twiddling my thumbs waiting to get it fixed.
