    Hey Dekeons, no physical ability test just have to be current on your DOT physical of course.
    I didn't think i was going to like the opti idle but it's actually been great. No problem staying cool i just crank the setting up to full cool if needed and it will freeze your ### out in 120 temps. I like it a lot now. Works kinda like a diesel APU except it's your truck idling and these trucks are so quiet now you hardly notice it. Also when battery is low it automatically starts up to charge
     
    dekeons Thanks this.

    Forgot to answer idle truck if needed. Besides the opti idle and or APU on older trucks the truck will stay idling below 34 and above 76 degrees. Also if you are running laptop or appliance it will idle to charge the battery. Things such as microwave draws to much power at first to kick on opti idle so I'll just kick on the temp all the way to idle while cooking.
     
    Bumper and dekeons Thank this.

    My doc changed me to Glipizide. One 10 mg tab with every meal and a once a week shot of Ozempic. Numbers have dropped drastically. Best I have been in years. Very pleased.

    So Im about 433 miles from delivery. Unfortunately my DM called yesterday and said this load we thought was a 24/7 open window turned out to be a midnight hard appt. I could be there about 13:00 today but thinking best approach would be leave later and arrive with hours available instead of showing up early and running out. There is no parking at customer or on the street :confused:

    Booked on a run going to SLC from Oregon,OH....went by the house for my 10 and I guess I will get my Drivers License renewed, so it will be here by the time I get back.

    I talked with Jason in recruiting the other day. This thread is what led me there. I don’t see a whole lot of complaining or attack posts in here.

    Sounds like everything is up to snuff. Anything I’m missing?
