Why isn't this type of battery used to power an all electric APU?

How long does it take to open and close the doors? I saw a guy get drenched at a receiver trying to open his doors in the rain.

Although $1.40 is a very low all miles rate we would have taken the load from CA to FL (if it were time for a break) if it didn't go south of Orlando and was not heavy. (Over 7000#). Our reasoning is simple. We live in North Florida and it is hard to get a load home. We have deadheaded from...

Correct. The house battery will charge while the truck is running but not be used for starting. The starting batteries will not be drained by anything connected to the the house bank (inverter) while the truck is not running.

Iowa 80. It's got it all.

WE use the DEZL 560 and love it. Had it a couple of years and never updated it.

Thank you Turtle. I was wondering where you were today.

I downloaded the Copilot App and the map of the US and Canada (1.5GB). I can now type in an address and get a route in seconds without being online. This will be great for evaluating load offers. I will be able to see the route and destination without having to crack open a road atlas.

I'm planning on adding an extra battery or two for a house bank. What size isolator will I need? My alternator is 160 amp so I am assuming I need this size or larger.

The $1.40 rate to El Paso is a bit low but the rates Jack was quoting are great. A 761 mile run for $2046. I'm on it. ($2.69 a mile) Don't care where it is going. We are not all TVAL trucks.

Copilot looks pretty good. I'll give it a try.

I bought a Nexus 7 yesterday and would like a map app that will work offline. No wifi or phone service needed. I would like to be able to enter a beginning city and state and ending city and state and see the route. I do not need turn by turn or voice directions. I intend to use this when...

Check out these guys. Buy new seats and use your old base. This is where we got ours and love them. We bought the Excalibur. Seating Products

You have to wait 168 hours or 7 days from the start time of your last 34 hour reset before starting another one. Mine can not start (the beginning of the 34 hours) before 1900 on Sunday night. Your C Link will show a time for the next reset to begin.

My restart becomes available at 1900 on Sunday night thru 0500 on Tuesday morning. I would like to adjust it so it starts one day earlier. 1900 on Saturday through 0500 on Monday. I will be home OOS for 2 weeks. How would I get the CLink to adjust? Keep rejecting restarts until that time or can...

I know a landscaper that carries four gas cans on his trailer. People used to steal one occasionally while he was parked somewhere. He wrote on each can. "One of these cans contains gas with sugar. Steal at your own risk". He hasn't had a can stolen since.

A two axle truck in California is not considered a truck for speed limit purposes. Ours is a class 8. We called the CHP public information officer to verify.

We drive a two axle straight truck with a GVW of 33,000 pounds.

Does anyone have a state by state list of what they consider a truck for the truck speed limits. I know California is 3 axles or more and Indiana is over 13 tons declared.
