    I have an apu too, but I don't run it when it's in the 50's at night.

    I don't like mosquitos, but I'm scared of spiders. Last summer in Amarillo. It took three weeks to heal, and I have a permanent scar.

    Had huge money lined up the rest of the week.. which now blew up in my face thanks to Mr. 9 sheet series.

    I had a similar problem with major air loss when picking up a preloaded container once. Took 8.5 hours for the chassis repair guy to show up.

    Something that bad should NOT have been pulled anywhere.. also noted to be taken out of service.
    But noooooo drivers would rather drive dangerous trailers around to not lose time out of their day to deal with fixing and reporting it. :biggrin_25510:

    It is kinda messed up that if you actually want to do the right thing... you sit and lose money.
    The one not doing the right thing is making money.
    If I owned a company and found out a driver drove and didn't report a major problem I'd fire their arse and make sure they would be unhireable to anybody but Western Express.
     
    Lone Ranger 13 and mxpx148 Thank this.
