Running with JCT, Part Deux

I like Keith. I think he has a lot of knowledge and experience and is generally a nice guy, but the cryptic qualcomm butthurt messages are really a bad habit. You arent the one who broke the truck, you are the one trying to fix it.

 

My Dynasys seems to be operating fine, although I wish it had an inverter rather than generator. Dont really like to have to run on continous to use the 110. It has 506 hours and is indicating service is required. Anyone know what the service interval is on these?

 

If you go by the site it's every 1,000 hrs I think is what I read.
You can click on the dealer link I did earlier and go to the faq page.

 

My TK is supposed to get serviced every 500 , although it has already #### the bed.

On an unrelated note, Candy at the Red Parrot in El Paso is a sweetheart.

I think I'm in El Paso.

Where's my wallet?

 

Finished up orientation on Wednesday and got a load out to California same day. I got a 2013 kenworth t660. Yesterday I averaged 5.9 heading west through Oklahoma, Texas and Eastern NM. Today was a much better 7.1 avg.

Orientation was a big mess with the normal person being gone. Even though I had everything done beforehand I was still one of the last ones to pick a truck. So it was either this kdub, a 12 Cascadia with 500k, or a cheap n easy 2010 Cascadia. Didn't catch the miles but I knew it was like .15 cpm variable.

I will most likely try to upgrade into a 14 Cascadia but we shall see how the cards fall in ninety days.

Met traffic the first day and saw him around the yard some. Probably shouldve picked his brain but I didn't wanna glob on and ask a billion questions that would've been answered later on.

Other than some frustration with the orientation process I can't really complain about the experience thus far. Excited to see what the future holds.

Catch you guys down the road

FYI, McLane Foodservice in Concord NC.... Appt at 06:30, I arrived at 06:00, they put me in a #### immediately and rolled right on with a fork. Place is almost empty and they were done in 10 minutes. Probably could have arrived earlier.

 

Why is dock sensored? Lol

Woke this morning and realized that I forgot to myself on sleeper berth. Got that fixed and the log dept calls, I will just explain that I was absent minded last night.

Got 7.4mpg yesterday with 41.2k of chicken mcnuggets in the box.

 

I can't remember the last time I was in Sleeper Berth. I'm usually just off duty when I'm sleeping.

 

This truck is killing me on fuel mileage, filled up in OKC and mpg last tank was 5.67. That is running 63-64 mpg. Ouch, think I know why I am 4 driver of this truck since January.

 

How many miles are on the truck? I didn't start seeing 7 and above til after 62, xxx miles.
