    I would guess that your description is correct. I'd rather have an APU or EPU, but it's a decent setup. It does at least solve idling for heat. Still gotta run your engine for AC. If it was my truck, I wouldn't want the extra wear on my engine. But, it's not my truck, so....

    Bill said there's been a few bullets that have come into the yard over the years. Gunshots don't bother me, backyard target practice is normal near me. But, those guys next store serve alcohol. THAT makes me nervous when I hear shots.

    Alcohol and firearms do NOT mix.

    Stupid question alert....whats the employee id for the CAT scale app? Ive never used it but was going to try it since I've got students. We scale majority of our loads just so he can get use to it, and I'm not liking the time spent doing it ...

    It should be your payroll ID. Not the numbers from your SSN, but the letters. I assume you're trying to add your Comdata card? I love that app. I haven't had to go inside for a scale ticket more than a couple times since I got my truck.

    If the letters don't work, try the numbers. You may have to call Cat to get your card set up. Make sure you add your email as well. When you scale, it'll show your weights. Then it will email you an actual scale ticket. The rumor going around is that cops won't accept that ticket. BS. Both cops that gave me an inspection accepted my email scale tickets. Just make sure that you are changing the trailer number every time you scale. Otherwise it'll just use the trailer number from the last time you used the app.
