I remember reading @Flightline had paint issues starting out and they gave him 6 months not sure if it's still the same. Ask a recruiter to be sure or see if you can get the shop number and ask them.

 

Actually They only gave me 4 months to get it painted because the peeling was really bad and that was covering up an ulgy faded purple. I worry more about how the truck runs, but extremley ulgy trucks do get inspected more.
Now I want to get a picture wrap done on the side.

 

Will my apu fan be okay behind my headache rack?

 

A lit of people put the condenser and electric fan on the back of the sleeper. Just make sure that you give yourself enough room so when your sleeper air bags deflate it doesn't tilt back into the head ache rack. I'd also put a sheet of stainless or aluminum over the frame rails so your drive shaft doesn't fling grease up the back wall. More importantly salt and that liquid crap they put down on the roads.

Be prepared to move that rack every spring so you can give the condenser s good cleaning.

 

Well 2 hours later headache rack is on and tight. Let me tell you.. 232 wb kinda sucks if I turn sharp it just misses my rack. If I move my exhaust to under truck n move up composer for apu that will free up room

 

That is awful short. Slide that fifth wheel back a foot. If you don't have a slider it's time to either install one, or permanently move the fifth wheel. Make this a priority. It's extremely common to have freight over hang the front of the truck by a foot. Make sure you remember you can't do that when making your load selections.

If money is an issue, I can move that fifth wheel at the yard, but you will need to get lawyers to drill new bolt holes. 1 hour of labor.

 

its all the way back already i moved it. i can turn very shrap long and it misses the headache rack. But if i get stuff that hangs off it will hit my headache rack.

 

You really need to move it farther back so you can have room for a foot over hang. Obviously only if this still keeps the fifth wheel in front of the rear axle.

 

Dont got a tape measure its not in my tool box... Im measure it out 2moro and see where it is.

 

Worst case scenario he could always put a front headache rack on the trailer this will limit his load options a little bit but I seen some guys set up that way
