    Weird problem with this reefer. Set point 35° continuous. Box temp, 41° and chugging along on low speed. If I run the set temp down to 25°, it ramps up rpms and begins cooling. I get it down to 37-38°, put the set temp back at 35°, and it goes into heat mode and raises the temp back up to 41°.

    That sucks. Have you tried moving the temp up 1 degree at a time to see where it starts heating? That way you may be able to get it within a degree or two of set point

    Yeah, I drop it to 29, doesn't change, drop it down to 25, revs up and cools down. Get the box temp close to the correct set temp, then start raising the set temp a little at a time, and it kick the heater on after a few degrees. Almost like the sensor for the display is misreading and the computer is using a different sensor that is reading correct. I even ran it thru a manual defrost, didn't dump much water, and didn't help.

    Surprisingly he actually called me… And I had a very frank discussion with him and told him I’m not gonna tolerate this any longer so he gave me his direct number….now with that said, he did spill some info that pissed me off.

    Managers talk hot #### until they’re suddenly and forcefully unemployed. The only people with any power are the people with the capital.

    Wonder if this ab5 issue in Cali for independents under others authorities spreads to other states and of so will the OOs become company drivers? Maybe the megastar paid off politicians to squash competition and regain control of having more drivers available for them?
