    Well that's not AS bad as what I had. I had singles with a tag axle. God they were horrible in the winter!

    So, I'm at the Ft. Worth yard getting ready to roll and was checking fuel prices in Weatherford. Noticed this and was like, this has to be wrong. Too bad I'm not going that way in order to find out.

    You know I wish reefer manufacturers would put a driver accessible coolant fill point on their units....

    Dropped a good trailer in Logansport and picked up one with a bad tire and a low coolant warning... C'est la vie

    Ya, nope. Left last July. JCT, in my opinion, is still a great company to get your start as a business owner. Great support staff, reliable equipment, and good compensation package which has slightly improved the last couple of months. I wouldn't steer anyone away from leasing to them.

    Effingham Illinois Exit 159 Speedway truck stop current fuel pricing $2.49 they do have bulk DEF and they take EFS at the pump.

    Cheapest price in quite a radius. It's the same exit opposite the Petro on the other side of the interstate.

    Hey Macho, question...what was fixed on your APU that finally solved the constant HVAC breaker issues? I know you posted something about it awhile back, about what was replaced and by whom. Too lazy to try and wade through old posts to find what you said lol. Long story short, but our shop has used its last attempt to fix my APU. W/B replaced the generator belt and alternator belt, and said that would fix the constant HVAC breaker trips due to low voltage. It didn’t fix it. Not even close. So going to try and find a decent Carrier shop on the left coast that can solve the issue once and for all. If that’s possible. So yea, appreciate it Macho if you could shed some light on what they did to make your APU play nice. Thanks.

    My HVAC needed needed a new hose for the freon. That was replaced. The overheating issue was ficed with a new radiator fan. Go to W/B in Duncanville, TX. They are good there. They are the ones thay got my APU back up abd running. The one in Sapulpa sucks.

    And they still will. Even if drivers are busted from now until April, it's only a ticket. They won't start enforcing shut down until next spring.
    I think that's b.s.. everyone has had plenty of time to comply.
