    Hate it when that happens. Of course when live turns pre-load, life is good.

    Because I have to deliver at 0500 Monday morning. I was thinking about pushing it and just sitting all day today. Then, get up and drive at 0500 tomorrow. I decided against it. It was made very clear to me that this load must be on time. I am going on hometime Thursday. With the hours I am getting back plus using hardly any hours tomorrow, I will have plenty to keep me going.

    Prostar. The bunk ac will only run for like an hour or three. I replaced the filter and cleaned everything yesterday, but it didn't help. The air does blow nice and cold when it does blow however.

    For the auto start / stop, the truck will just kill power to everything when the batteries get low and won't start unless I do something to make the batteries drain a little bit more, usually activating the light test or hitting one of my no idle heat or air buttons, though once it starts, it seems to run for a good 45 minutes before it will shut off unless I make it.

    Warning.... bad day rant!!!


    At home. What was waiting for me? A messy house, 2 bills in shut off status, 4 late/double bills, and 2 new debt collectors. I'm making 2x what I did, but somehow am worse off? How does that make sense?

    Apparently my wife refuses to balance the checkbook, pay bills, clean the house, or even give me a kiss occasionally. On top of that, she's quitting her job. I'm soo pissed off right now, I could almost sell/give everything away and tell the FMs to keep me out indefinitely... I either need a live in Finance Manager/ Caretaker, or I'm going to have to do something seriously drastic. I cannot live this way for even one more month.

    I'm happy gone, miserable when I'm home. I think I'm going to go cry now.

    Ahh ok. I have a Shaker and my bunk AC blows somewhat cool, but far from cold. I checked the sleeper filter and it seems good. May be an issue with the compressor or something.
