FL flashes codes. Dpf is 300k.
Kind of like oil change timer.
Idle is pretty well known. As mentioned in the post above yours.
Would you work for a company with no APU?

if I spend much more then 12-14 hours somewhere I’m looking for a hotel with a pool and a bar..... if I’m going to sit somewhere for 7 days it’s going to be at my house with buckets on the stacks.snowwy Thanks this.

How can you have a 2018 truck with 459k miles on it and a 38% idle? The math just doesn't add up....
-
Maybe he's local. My truck could be close to that. It idles if it's not moving. Unless parked for the night. I have 2 loads that take me 40 minutes to load and about 20 minutes to unload. I have 1 load thst takes me 90 minutes to load and 20 to unload. The commute is 55 miles one way.
3 loads a day. -
Being generous that's 55 * 2 (round trip) * 3 (loads) * 365 * 3 = 361K That's working 365 days a year for a full 3 years.
He hasn't had that truck for a full 3 years nor has he likely ran 365 days every day for 3 full years. Yes he could be doing more miles a day, but at the end of the week he's still constrained by HOS. -
My truck is a 2017 but was built in May 2016. I’d say his truck is probably similar and if that’s the case it’s only about 13k a month.ZVar Thanks this.

I thought class 8's were fairly close to actual year dates. Only a month or two off anyway....
Oh well, live and learn. -
I currently drive a 2019 Cascadia , she was born Feb 2018 and has 290k on her
Class 8's seem to come out way earlier . I remember the new style Cascadia (2018) was roaming the streets in early 2017 and some megas had them at the end of 2016 -
It was at 38% around 300k miles. After that I got an apu. I bought it used with 179k miles so I’m not sure what it was used for.ZVar Thanks this.

Yep! It’s a 2018 but i think it was delivered in June 2017, at least that’s when it was registered.Long FLD Thanks this.
