Schneider chat room - Closed see new thread linked in the last post

You can have any inverter that plugs into the cigarette lighter plug. 300 watt or less. They really prefer less than 300 watt, but I have a 300 watt inverter sitting in my front windshield powering my dashcam.

Good luck keeping batteries charged. SNI idle policy prevents charging batteries unless your driving

My batteries last the whole ten hours after I unplug my cooler and have the TV on the whole time.

I was blown off the road tonight by a very high gusting wind on US 36 eastbound. I slowed to 30, but the wind had the left side of my truck almost in the air. I had no control and I hit the soft mud at around 25-30 MPH. A courteous Schneider dedicated guy stopped to see if I was alright amongst other four wheelers. I have a new respect now. Needless to say, I had to get towed out. I hope this doesn't count as a preventable accident.

At least you kept it up right.

Yeah, that's what the wrecker driver congratulated me on. About 20 yards further and I would've flipped due to a deeper drop. I talked to my DBL and they are most likely going to call it a non-preventable. The officer said that many trucks get blown over in that same spot. There was a mini van blown over last night also.

The officer said that I did the right thing. If I would've tried to fight that high of a wind by turning right, I would've been blown over. It was weird because the wind gust literally came without warning.

hence the name wind GUST. glad you are safe. Scary stuff for sure.

 

Had anyone taken the new HOS training in crossroads? I'm about to go to the Gary OC to pickup a load going to Ontario. I'll do mine there.

we just got that message via Qcomm today. listened to it while driving but quickly tuned it out. Sounded like they've gotten a handle on the PC issue?
