    What does that button on the underside of the bunk control panel do?

    Yes, trukstops are often full now by 5 or 6, I find myself paying for parking more often now. The TA in Commerce is almost all paid spots now.

    The only difference I have seen is a lot more paid parking/reserved spots, especially at T/A-Petro, and many times, not all full either. I really haven't seen much of a difference. Of course I do a lot of I-35, (KS to MN back to KS, then to TX and back) or TN to FL and back.

    It is the temp sensor if I’m not badly mistaken....don’t ask me how I know! It isn’t a reset (as I originally thought :-( ).

    Hit the heavy snow in Sisseton, SD. Down to one lane, 25 mph and flashers on. Supertrucker just had to blow my doors off, kick all that snow up and I was driving blind for waaaay longer than I like, so shut her down at the casino. Hope he ended up in the ditch.

    Of course, right as it gets dark, stops snowing. Bugger it, no point in leaving a good parking spot now.

    Apparently I made it through there at the right time, I should have shook your truck this AM when I was fueling:).

    That blinding snow sucks horribly. Specially if your defroster cant keep up and you get a sheet of ice on the windshield.
     
    Lowlite Thanks this.

    So Im at CR and have a D&H two hours away but another driver took the trailer that I dropped...no empty trailers on lot. What do I do besides inform after hours? What do you do to prevent this?

    Id go see if martin brower has any on their lot. 7 miles away, should have at least 1. Dont drop trailers in yards without securement is all you can do.
     
    mattbh23 and Lowlite Thank this.

    You can check MB as suggested and Super Value, definitely call after hours too. We are at 5:1 on trailers, clearly we need to either stop letting customers like MB take so long to offload trailers or bump up our purchases.

    Unfortunately some of us do secure trailers, why, because if I’m going out after my 10 to pick up I don’t want to be without a trailer either... I agree you should not “hold” a trailer when you’re doing a 34, however on a 10 you almost have no choice these days.
