    Glad you brought this up, as the parent of a child getting ready to take drivers ed, I came across a program that allows truckers to go to a school and help explain to them how to drive aound a big truck. This would be great since as we all know most people that have never done it DON'T. Do you think Millis would let me? The truck stays parked so insurance shouldnt be an issue.

    Tell me about it. There are so many crappy drivers out there that make Our job dangerous. I just want to get to the delivery on time safely and sometimes these jack holes just dont think. Most of them are texting while driving. we had one pull from the far left lane to an exit ramp 4 lanes over right in front of us and 2 other cars.

    Can't hurt to ask. I've seen these programs before and most companies like the positive publicity.

    Sitting in Eau Claire, WI. after delivering to Plano, IL. Saturday morning. Then delivered to Shelby, IA. yesterday (Sunday)....and delivered Eau Claire, WI. at midnight last night.... Heading down to City Brewery in alittle while to pickup a load going down to Memphis, TN. for Wednesday morning delivery... Everything has been going pretty good out here...sorry I haven't been around on the forums much lately. My new T700 is running alright...now have over 45K miles...started experiencing electrical shortages in the sleeper last week and then a day later my A/C controls gave out...now I only have full speed A/C or nothing at all so will be visiting the dealership once again when I get routed that direction....I'm trying to get by the school in Trenton to meet the students currently in class and see if there's any help or advice I can give to anyone. Yall be safe out there and stay cool!!

    That ac issue is an electrical relay under the hood. It's a known problem and a 15 minute fix. It happened to me in a T700 too. I also had another relay for the coolant fan go out and ran the fan nonstop. You had that one yet?
