Intermodal - How's everyone doing?

Yup. If you gotta work 100 hours to make a living. Well i dont know. And a side note. My apu is leaking coolant. First week it did. Dealer fixed it. 1500$ later..........

 

Ouch. Do you spend many nights sleeping in the truck?

 

You run rails on elogs? Local or regional?

 

So you're currently not running elogs?

 

Of course there is companies taking them, if I'm offered something i'd take it as well, slow season is coming and I want to keep my guys rolling. My point was, these same companies pushing making it mandatory to use elogs are using carriers to move their freight they can't without running into hour limitation issues. While at the same time pushing their carrier to make the same day cut, knowing #### well it's not legal.

I really hope this does something to the rates, maybe get rid of the intermodal "back haul" ######## Schneider /Swift JB pushes on their carriers.

 

How many trucks do you have?

 

No. I dont even turn it on. Maybe once a blue moon. I dont get how its leaking. I wonder if theres a valve i can turn off to stop it

 

20 owner op's - only 2 company trucks. Already have the co trucks running elogs and it's a pain in the dick towards the end of the week to coordinate their dispatches / start times etc

 

You know what sucks. Paying 200$ a month to park your truck at a place you work.....and they dont even salt the darn place.

 

So my apu leak was i hope fixed. They said it was a coolant elbow. I bought 2 sizes both dont fit. The mechanic goes who inspected your truck bcz the elbow is good. He just changed clamps and no leak. I hope this is it. If not imma jus use shut off valves till i need to use apu. Cuz i never use it. And looks like a o/o bought a def volvo truck. So i guess theres 2 def trucks now lol
