    Good to be mechanical. You will save yourself a lot of time and money especially if you can trouble shoot the reefer.

    Google can be your friend.. the looked up the alarm and it said to check the belts. in the time it took to locate a new trailer, unhook and hook I could have been two hours down the road.. belts were good they just needed to be tightened. Don't need thermoking for that

    Wooo secured that invertor....

    Had a great visit with my son this morning too. Woke up to his trailer backed up to the back of mine.. my truck looked nicer. Ahahaha

    Receiver asked me back into door ## only to find out a local Hunt driver parked there. Think he caeed he backed into the wrong door - nope... and his tractor was crooked.. these are the things that help make us look bad..

    There are multiple "cave" shipper/receivers in MO. Some are tighter than others. Pretty cool though huh!?
