mercer transportation

You note need a tanker enforcement to pull skidded tanks. Not 100 percent sure, but think I read, it's anything over five hundred gallons.

And only if the tank has liquid material in it.

 

I its like some of the 1996 trucks some of the mercer hands have, it would be a bargain.

 

Flow bins now require tanker if there full

 

So my truck keeps blowing fuses for the trailer lights and running lights on the truck. I have turn signals, brake lights, cab lights but no running lights. I isolated the problem to the truck so I called Louisville Peterbilt and of course they're booked till tuesday. I had a real nice load going to MD for 2.77 mile and when I cancelled it the agent called and said the customer raised it another $500… Really annoyed that I can't do it. So anyways, I'll be in Louisville tomorrow and through tuesday at least. If you're out trucking over the holiday, stop by and say hi!

 

btw, if anyone is wondering, I just filled up my DEF tank on the truck. I originally filled it in WI last friday, ran to Florida and back to Louisville before I needed to fill it again. The DEF mpg is 136.63mpg for a cost of 0.02cents a mile. 18 gallons to fill it on 2556 miles. Wish my truck fuel mileage was that good!

 

I've had that issue with older Pete's (obviously) blowing the fuses. One was a short under the bunk, the other was just a bad connection from the pig tail to the tractor. I'm guessing that shouldn't be your issue, and I hope it's something that is easily fixed. Have a good, safe weekend.

 

In case you didn't know, the app has been fixed. At least for iPhone. You have to delete the old one and call and get a new code.

 

Good to know. I sure miss using it.

 

My android contractor app looks just like the lease to mercer app

 

Has anybody read the blog lately? It seems now that were not allowed to tune our trucks anymore. Too much smoke I guess. I'm starting to think there getting a little demanding. First elogs before there mandated, Too many csa points that gets you a trip to the priciples office. Now I cant tune MY truck how I like it. What is that saying about rats and a drowning ship? Sorry rant over.
