    Espar blowing smoke

    Thanks for the extra stuff that should be checked. I am headed towards home after 6 weeks, and will drop the truck off at the Thermo King that installed it. I should have them do a thorough check on the Tri Pac too.

    Diesel Stolen While Driver Sleeps

    I took mine out because the seal was not good enough and fuel leaked out from under the cap. I bought the only one Thermo King, across the street from Detroit Diesel had. It might be because they sold me the wrong one. It looked like the right size, but the size is very close to the reefer tank...

    Cargo Box Update

    I just went to the Morgan website. Morgan Corporation | Product: Dry Freight: FRP - Gallery I see that they have E track but not one down near the floor. I would want one down at pallet level. Is that an option?

    looking for opinions on safety standards

    When I drove a school bus 22 years ago , the seat belt question came up. This was back when a gas powered school bus got hit by a drunk in KY and started on fire, killing a lot of kids. There is a sign marking the spot on I 71. When our safety guy was interviewed by the local TV station, he...

    Espar blowing smoke

    My Espar came with my Tri Pac and blows 2 minutes of smoke out the exaust when it starts up. I just talked to Espar tech support and he said there is a screen that the fuel goes through, that is getting plugged up after 2 1/2 years of use, and needs to be replaced. It sound like a cheap fix.

    tri-state question

    I am not even sure if they use the term dwell. I just borrowed the term because its fits the discussion. At TS, there are reasons to turn down loads that don't count against you. 30 % deadhead is one. Pay less than contract rate is another. Turning down NYC and Canada is another, if you tell...

    tri-state question

    I had 2 refusals in my 7 months with TS and they were no big deal with very little "standing in the corner". I had a lot more with my previous 2 companies because they offered a lot more crap loads.

    tri-state question

    The 8 hour thing is when your dwell time will start up again. I turned down a short load 2 days ago and a few hours later I got a better load (after the snow got plowed in Wisconsin). Dwell time means nothing if you are the only truck around and they want to take care of our biggest customer.
