Roehl Driver Check In Continued

Yes I know...I was just being a smart-posterior.

 

Any of you buy cigars in Canada and bring them back? If so, what is the legal limit for personal use?

 

Thanks -- as luck has it, I am currently pulling a curtainside. They had me scale while empty to be sure how much load I could carry. 34660 with 3/4 fuel tanks on a Prostar, which if I recall right is a couple thou heavier than an empty flat. I hauled some very nice interior fire doors out here to a new office building that an oil company is constructing.

 

Generally agree; I found my Prostar to be much quieter than my '07 Shaker, and I love that both mirrors are power-adjustable. Watch out though, the Jake on the Prostar (even on setting "3") is a lot weaker than on the Shaker (though it's also a lot quieter). I use the dashboard release a lot; just don't trust the green light by itself on the kingpin....

I have the same complaint about the washer button being on the turn-signal lever. It's hard not to have the turn signal come on during a long wash while on the highway; rather embarrassing. The other issues don't bother me so much, except I still sometimes reach for the (nonexistent) cord loop to pull for the air horn.

I've found that my EPU starts the engine up more often when I use the bunk heater than even when I was running the A/C during the summer. Running the A/C, once per night, maaaaybe twice. But the bunk heater at least twice per night, often thrice. Weird.

 

Depends on where, I had my own place when I lived there. Indian dude that owned a store. $7 for Cope. I think he had a contact that bought it out of state. NH is best bet up there.

 

The last Freightliner that I had at Roehl only had an exhaust valve brake which was very weak. This one is better but not quite as nice as the one on the Pete with a Cat engine.

 

I've learned to do an underhand grip and use my thumb to press washer button. Gives you more control and stability so as not to turn on blinker. Yes truck auto starts with bunk heater on, but only runs about 10 min. I never use dash release. Mirror heaters also work good even in warm weather to evaporate water when raining.

 

Interesting, thanks.

Hm, when my truck autostarts it seems to always run about an hour regardless of heat or A/C. Only difference is number of times per night.

 

Might want have batteries checked when you get a chance then.

 

With my prostar with a empty flat i scale just a tad over 30k full tanks. Never scaled a curtain side empty before. i just tend to say i can put 46 on a curtain. If i happen to be over i route my ### around the scales.
