Roehl Driver Check In

My truck is out of place. Pulled into ts here in western TN and it was almost 60, which is a lot nicer than the 15 I woke up to in VA, but coming from New England with all the snow squalls that hit with the treated roads, red truck looks like it has a salty, white flame job on it.

 

I don't mind the cold and the snow, it is the windchill that does me in. Maybe I will get to join you in the south next week while my FM is on vacation. Lol!

 

Older trucks do, newer trucks don't.

Problem with our APUs is most don't have the heat feature enabled. So we rely on a webasto bunk heater. Which are sometimes iffy.

 

Mine uses the apu heater and it sucks. Webastos will bake you like the fires of hell and I wish i had one.

I have the APU one and mine works pretty good.

 

I dunno, Gary acted like it was a pos and they didnt have parts for it. Appleton rebuilt it.

Also I get a Qualcomm message the other day and it says I recently had work done and didnt give enough notice for needed repairs and in the future get with my fm to set up repairs at least 10 hours in advance. What?!?!? I about flipped my lid when I got that. lol

Hope you make it down, but won't be joining me as I'm headed to St. Paul for home time the 30th. Brrrr

 

My truck got a tire that was leaking and recalls from I yet national done this morning. I checked into the ellenwood term and told the inspecting the trl my problem and then once that was fixed international tech did the rest. I just did the request computer thing even after my fm that went home early said run it by the fm he left in charge of his drivers. F that maintenance can do it. Home now that god low of 60 lol

 

Maybe you should call the safety dept. instead of fm or dispatch. sounds like you're in an unsafe truck.

 

I have the webasto. Mine needs to get rebuilt. Can't keep the truck warm enough... Well I have ###### bedding so it doesn't bother me but when I have to get up and get dressed in the morning the ole nips cringe up.
