    With a TK, If you set the units too high, on a cold day, it throws a ‘refrigerant Capacity’ code. I think #26. I think it dumps so much coolant into the system trying to get it hot that it throws that code.
    I had it happen yesterday. Needed trailer temp at 20c and it was at 10c. I set it at the max temp, 27c to try and get it up there. It threw the code within a few minutes. When I got to the shipper, I set it back to 20c to get loaded and the code disappeared before I could even clear it…
    It did run on high though…

    This is where I think having the door sensor limit the engine speed is a problem. Our older trailers, and some of the newer trailers with the sensor disabled would have gone into high speed and kept up, at least kept up better.

    Not the way I want to start my morning. Got up, aired up the trailer, and the white light was on. Did my morning walk around just to check to make sure it wasn't just the cold that dropped my tire air pressure down a bit...and I kicked a low tire. Took two tries rolling it before I discovered something in one. Had to wait at this Love's for their shop to open, now I play the wait game for my turn at getting it fixed. Could be worse, could've just blown out going down the road with 33,200 lbs on the trailer and then I would've had to wait on a ramp or rest area parking lot and then they'd have to stand out in the cold to fix it.

    Just got so lucky. Locked myself out at Martin brower.. (1 minute early for appointment). Realizing I left my window a good bit cracked I start looking and they’re holding up a stop sign with two foot bungees. They didn’t need that bungee more then myself in that moment.

    We are back in the truck for free.

    There's a water fountain that is turned on somewhere in Amerika? I thought they were all shut down due to Covid.
