Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Kind of like a stop i had on my Monday route with pepsi. No one ever bothered to put down the right address instead they just put down food giant turned out it was a piggly wiggly and didn't have the name food giant anywhere on the sign

 

That happened to me about 8 years ago. No air leak, no sign that anything was going wrong, I just happened to look back as a truck was passing me and saw smoke in his headlights. When I stopped, the axle was in flames. Just managed to put it out.

 

Used to do that place and P&G in Dover all the time. That whole REGION needs work. Haha

 

Sitting broke down in Effingham. Dash lit up like a Christmas tree and shutdown warning came on as I started blowing white smoke out the exhaust. I limped it into the Pilot and now I'm waiting for Breakdown to call me back and tell me it will be a few hours before I can be attended to. Boo. I hate these DPF systems.

 

Ahhhh, just got the classic response. "Power it down for 30-40 minutes and see what that does." Apparently this is a recurring issue with '17 and '18 Freightliners.

Edit: Turned truck back on after proscribed amount of time. No faults displayed, truck runs just like normal. Apparently it just had a little indigestion. It's still a turd, but at least it's a fast one.

 

Freightliner.....................

This little light of mine........I'm going to let it shine

Seriously, every driver of a freightliner needs some duct tape

to put over the little engine warning light.

 

I'm QUITE drunk. I thought you guys should know.

 

I dunno. In the kws I've driven I call those the paccar lights.
