    Yeah, but from what I was told this problem existed before I got the truck. It has an internal coolant leak clogging up the exhaust filter.. when I did my pre-trips I had add fluid every few days. Just thought it was a normal thing.. Guess I was wrong..

    Course that does explain why there were 3 gallons of coolant in the dog box when I got the truck.. Guess I need to sit down with a mechanic and have them teach me what to look for and what should trigger a flag..

    Going to be over week for my truck to be fixed, so they assigned me a newer one. Never though about how much stuff you accumulate in a short time..

    Drove all over GA last night looking for an empty trailer.. dispatch finally told me to return to the terminal. Guess what??? Somebody dropped off an empty.. ARRRGG. Now I am waiting out my ten..

    Are we having fun yet????

    A newer truck? Maybe you should just go ahead and keep that one!

    I am keeping it.

    Though I discovered today I am missing a few fuses.. one of which was the cab hvac fuse. OK I was in the south until today.. Now I am in upstate NY. Blower didn't turn on and it needed to..

    Running back roads to get to shipper and not seeing well in the snow is not good. Had to come down a hill that made me pray hard.
     
    Gears Thanks this.

    Whew did my first 3K week now I am living on borrowed time.. borrowing from day 8 to run today.. so far it's working...

    Sitting between two big KWs on high idle at a pilot in meridian, ms, not sure why they need to idle that high, but if my reefer annoys people like that annoys me I am definely looking for other parking options when my reefer is running.. before anyone asks I was here first and there were other parking options. I may pull up and turn my reefer on if they insist on high idles
