    Anyone else having issues with the card control app no longer showing any pricing? Been that way a few days now.

    Maybe they figured out it was showing us what JCT paid for fuel and trying to stop it.

    Average fuel price $2.785, fuel surcharge $0.25 per mile.

    That's a hell of a jump.

    If it's a recurring problem, try to W&B in Duncanville, TX (In between Dallas and Ft. Worth on the 20). They do good work. According to my DM they have fixed 15 of APUs right the first time including mine. All of them with the same recurring problem(s). She has no reason to lie about that.

    Or if you are in area with extreme heat (105+) the Carrier APU is easily overwhelmed by the ambient temp. Mine has never liked the extreme heat. I personally think the radiator is to small. It needs a second radiator/fan, a bigger radiator/fan, or be plumed into the truck radiator to be reliable in the heat. I think that's why the TKs did so well. They were cooled by the trucks cooling system.

    Only some of the thermo King's were. I know I my 14 Cascadia that Thermo King had a system just like the carrier where it had its own coolant reservoir and radiator. It had overheating issues too unless I open the door on the Apu to let the air pass through.

    I absolutely love how inconsistent detention pay is. Two different loads two different Walmarts both loads are fused due to problems outside of the driver control for quality assurance both loads taken to Chicago both loads had the exact same amount of wait time during the refusal.

    I got $150 on one load and I got 0 on the other load.
