I would check the cable routing.A frawed cable will give these poblems. If you have access to a second antenna,give it a try.
A recruiter once told me that "c" size loads are the ones most requested by shippers.
I guess this is why most "D" units tell me they are hauling 75% "C".
As to us C guys stealling D frt away,it just dosent happen (with FECC at least). If the shipper supprises us at the last minute with over...
