    Testing Batteries

    Our truck is also equipped with a battery discharge protection system that disables auxiliary circuits if the voltage drops below a preset limit. It used to beep and shut everything except the inverter off. (The inverter is wired directly to the battery bank.) It does not appear to be working...

    Testing Batteries

    We are still powering the same things the same way that we have for over 3 years. Just trying to figure out why they are running down so quickly. Sent from my EVO using EO Forums mobile app

    Testing Batteries

    Yea, I'm waiting on Turtle. Don't have an apu. Couldn't justify spending that many dollars for a truck as old as ours. Especially when they break down as often as they do. Will get one for our new truck if that time ever comes.

    Testing Batteries

    We have four 950 cca batteries in our truck. They are less than 1 year old. When parked the only things drawing power are our refrigerator, inverter and sometimes an overhead light. The inverter powers the tv, dvd, laptop and is used for charging phones and headsets. Twice in the last month our...

    Bad News for Doctor Shoppers

    If a driver fails a physical can he get Social Security disability? He would no longer be fit to work in his chosen profession. I see early retirement for many drivers in the near future. Sent from my EVO using EO Forums mobile app

    I65 Gary to Indy, terrible roads in exchange for cheap fuel?!

    I think we should all get together and sue the states that don't use the road tax money for roads. I want my money back.:mad: Sent from my EVO using EO Forums mobile app

    Thanks for posting all the info on your blog over the years. It helped many of us to learn more about this business. It also provided some great laughs when you were mad about something. Sent from my EVO using EO Forums mobile app

    TA/Petro Shops

    Except for minor things like oil changes or shocks we avoid them unless it is an emergency. Just about every repair they have done had to be redone by our local shop. They are usually very slow and the mechanics seem to drag the work out as long as possible. We once had a PM take 4 hours. Sent...

    Favoritism or not???

    When we were flat rate we were paid the same rate all miles. DH, loaded and DHPL. A long DH was no problem as we burned less fuel empty than loaded. Is this a different flat rate program that is based on loaded miles only? Sent from my EVO using EO Forums mobile app

    Transitions

    Good luck to ya. Glad to hear you are realizing your dream. We have 37 months to "debt free" and then we will decide what we want to do to earn a living. Since I will only be 57 retirement won't be an option, but with no debt our income needs will be small and easily obtainable.

    Is this time of the year always this slow?

    Plenty of solo freight around GA, SC, NC and VA. Are you IAC qualified? All solos should be. Good paying short runs especially if you have a lift gate. Sent from my EVO using EO Forums mobile app

    April locations, but I won't promise spring!

    Laredo. As soon as we deliver it's turn and burn time. Never spent the night here without a load on the truck or pre dispatch and probably never will.
