    That's fine. I'm parked at the Pilot in Haines City. Got the trailer washed at the drop yard in Davenport and fueled the reefer here at the Pilot. Actually managed to get an easy out parking space, so, I just called it a day here. Load won't be ready til tomorrow anyway. Got 122 points just for reefer fuel.


    22 for the gallons + 100 points for using the app.

    I really don't like the carrier apu. Its 90 outside and even on full blast its about 80 inside. I had to start up the truck to idle smh.

    Closing the cab curtains will help a lot. Also, if the reefer is running and the fifth wheel is set close to all the way forward, the heat from the reefer overwhelms the A/C condenser. Disconnecting from the trailer and pull forward will help the a/c work for effectively.

    Yeah, open that gap to give everything room to breath should solve your problem. If it don't, then, it's most likely a different issue.

    There is also a filter behind the unit under your bunk. Take that off and give it a good cleaning. I clean mine once a month.

    Closing the curtains makes a huge difference, along with leaving acc on and using the truck hvac to increase the air out of the vents. I opened my trailer gap a little, I'm now set where full tanks and max on the drives gives me 12450 on the steers, as it should be.

    Also, turning up the rear AC to max cool before parking to get it nice and chill in the back helps too, as the APU doesent have to bring it down, just maintain.

    On another note, the load to Florida canceled. Heh, funny how that works. I for one am NOT complaining.
