mercer transportation

Maybe he just wants some koolaid... Or maybe he's like me and doesn't have a printer in the truck.

 

Printer is a nearly a necessity out here. It's a lot cheaper than paying a truck stop to fax permits, Bol, tax info, etc. I don't use mine but maybe every couple of weeks or once a month, but it is definitely nice having it.

 

You didn't say, but are you losing coolant? an air compressor going south can put coolant into the air system after it overloads the air dryer cartridge.Most newer air dryers, the cartridge spins off with a filter wrench. quite easy to change and inexpensive. Last 2 Octobers, they were like $18 @ my local dealer.
If your drain valve is at the bottom edge of the air tank, run your air down and spin the drain valve out and let the moisture drain out. Wrap the fitting with teflon tape and replace.
DON'T USE brake deicer unless your lines are froze as the deicer will dry out the lubricant on the o-rings in the brake valves causing the valve to stick or fail altogether.
Dryer cartridge cartridges are cheap. People will tell you they don't need changed every year and it's a waist. Change mine every fall, don't care.

 

that could be true. I usually copy everything at home

 

Well I'm delivering down the road anyway. The filter for my truck was $85. I've lost very little coolant. I got a printer in the truck didn't know I could get from site lol.

 

Yup click on links on the homepage of the contractor web

 

Is there a gasket near a egr cooler for oil? I see some oil around that area n looks fresh.

 

Before you print out copies put your truck number on the form and fill out the bubbles below, then you don't have to do that each load.
I think they should add the form to the TripPak software so we don't need to waste another piece of paper. Would be simple enough to just type in the load number and have the form created. Your truck number could already be stored. It's a shame when the IT folks aren't as technologically able as the truck drivers. Or they're just too #### lazy.

 

The engine oil cooler is just underneath the egr cooler . mines leaking at the front right corner.
If it is the engine oil cooler gasket that's leaking be careful on who you get to fix it . My engine mechanic worked for Cummins for over thirty years and tells me some places don't follow the proper procedureon on a ISX and the end result is a spun crank bearing or worse seized engine.

 

Lol, right
