I have a ComfortPro APU but I opted not to get the CCU with it because I have rooftop air and wanted the extra space instead. Is there any way at all to have the APU autostart for temperature, allow the rooftop air to do its job, then turn back off? Alternatively, what is the thought process on...

Does anyone out there know of any dealerships that still lease straight trucks? I'm about fed up with mine... Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I was close to buying a new expediter truck, then I was told the warranty is 2 years on the engine which can be pushed to 5, 5 on the transmission, 1 on axles, 1 on sleeper, and 1 on the body I guess. Is that normal? Does bumper to bumper exist for 5 years? Or is this the only type of warrant...

I'm going to an International to get a couple minor things done. Of course they don't have the proper equipment for a thorough front end check (shocks, struts, alignment) nor do they install tires. So where is a good place to go that has that machine you pull onto for checking the front end...

So I installed my own CB. I used mirror mounts, then ran a 9' mini 8 (if I remember right) cable from the mounts, inside (hidden beautifully I might add), connected each end into a "T" adapter, and just hooked the male end of the adapter right into the CB. Now, the problem is I can get the...

Alright, currently I have just a standard 1500w inverter. My outlets in the truck split, and one connection plugs into the front of the inverter, and the other to the shore power plug controlled from the outside plug. So, when I'm plugged in, I have to unplug the connection in the inverter...

It's me again. With yet another problem. Our truck is vibrating/shaking what feels like side to side to me. What could be the cause of something like this, shocks....king pins....alignment? Is the side to side feeling a specific indicator? Easy/cheap to diagnose? We are delivering a load...

I have an International 4400 straight truck with a DT466 engine. For a while now, the truck keeps running hot, constantly hitting 210-215, even 220 if the climb is right. We are always 2 bottles low on coolant, and after refilling it still runs hot, and a bottle is gone in a day. I've been...

I need a new house from my compressor to my air tanks, problem is I can't get it till International opens tomorrow. He already has the hose off, and it was a pain. It's hot. Can I idle for a/c, whole basically having the air compressor just shoot the air straight out into the open air? Out...

Alright, so I'm driving down the road, no problems. Pull over for a few hours, idle so I don't melt inside the truck. My brother takes over driving, gets a little way down the road, all of a sudden we are hearing a high pitch squeal type sound coming from somewhere in the engine compartment...

Hey people. I've been studying my inverter and how it is wired. Also been researching a bunch of things. I've concluded this thing has not been hooked up properly at all. Currently I think the wire they used was only 8AWG at the most, and I have an 80 amp inline fuse near the battery. And my...

I'm looking at getting a portable generator, someone I talked to said there's a 3500 watt model at pepboys that works great. I also want to get rooftop air. 1. Can a portable generator be hooked into the batteries to charge them? 2. Can the rooftop air be ran through the inverter like...

Hey everybody, quick question for all of you. I own a 2004 International 4400, and every now and then after shutting it down for whatever reason, when I go to start it back up, it will not start. There will be a clicking sound under the hood inside the fuse box, but it isn't trying to turn...

Hi everybody. I have an International 4400 with a dt466 engine. Right now we don't have an apu or generator to help keep our batteries charged, and from what I've heard this engine shouldn't be idled. I'm trying to find some way to feel a little safer and know that if our batteries die, we can...

I am wondering a couple of things. 1) When you are leased on with Landstar, you see THEIR driver board. Are the rates listed on that board showing MY PAY ONLY, or the pay I still need to split with Landstar? 2) I keep seeing some people say they are supposed to be a 1st in, 1st out...

Hi everyone. I currently am a Company Driver for Con-Way. My parents have been driving for Panther for a little while now, and I am really thinking about making the switch to Panther myself. But they are a team, and I will be a solo. So, I know what they are capable of doing week by week...

Hey everybody. I have 2 years experience with Con-Way Truckload and I am now looking to switch paths into expediting, or maybe even just get back into driving a regular tractor-trailer if need be. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get started? I have submitted information to...
