Very smart. If running 134R in a operating unit that is running correctly, you should be at 55 to 58 degrees at the vent. Anything else they tell you is BS. Same standard is used for automobiles using the same refrigerant.

Just a quick side note. If replacing standard AC hoses whether generators or truck components, switch over to teflon hoses. They are much less prone to leaks.

Air conditioner system aren't that complicated IF the tech actually knows what they are doing. We have had several that dealers claimed they couldn't fix without replacing everything only to do a fix somewhere else for a fraction of the cost, and no reoccurring problems. To be fair, this was...

If the clutch doesn't engage, it is the clutch itself, or the compressor. The bigger problem is taking it to Freightliner. History has a way of repeating itself. Find an actual A/C technician rather than a parts changer. Trust me when I say, there is a huge difference between the two.

When past issues like this come up, it is sometimes hard to determine who is at fault. Those types of threads go all over the place with "he said, she said". At the end of the day you will find some very good fleet owners, and some that are a total waste of time. Reputation is usually the...

Wow. High dollar running. Should be a outside carrier as they offer up the dollar loads for much more than a dollar. As for being busy. Extremely busy.

That is the optimal word. Many could have been replaced with "the majority". But you are correct in that there are small carriers that service their own accounts. I guess the definition of small could be subjective here as well. One does have to choose wisely. Also might add, it is different...

Might want to keep in mind that many of the smaller carriers are reliant on the large carriers for their loads.

They are Cummins engines.

Could be just to lazy to put enough air in the tires. You would be surprised sometimes. Maybe a look at the history of the vehicle. Did it always get that type of mileage? I agree with the others. Many ways to get the fuel economy under control.

So, what are trying to say?

I probably wouldn't be keeping 35 percent of the FSC. Pay them 60 percent of the revenue and 100 percent of the FSC and you should be good to go.

I am not at the Fed of course, but on the dark side. I would say that it is of benefit to the drivers to have someone that understands their lifestyle and circumstances verses someone internally. My opinion would be the same regardless of who the carrier is. All I can say Dale is, " Keep...

Sure why not? Have to spread the love. :D

I have been a moderator here for quite some time. I am sometimes controversial as well. With that said, I think Dale does a fantastic job given what he has to deal with in the forums. I don't think it needs to be cloaked in anything but that. Additionally, I have always enjoyed Terry's long...

Lay off the beans. Too much methane.

I would still check the sensors. Don't know this particular unit, but there could be two. One for the coolant temp, and one for the fan. Screw the coolant one out and clean it, or replace it. I would also monitor at what temp the fan is coming on. After three years, it would not be uncommon...

Could be several things assuming that the unit has the appropriate amount of anti-freeze. Check to ensure the fan is coming on to ventilate it and the radiator is clear of all debris. If not sure, take some oven cleaner to the radiator and spray it off with a garden house. Nothing with too...

Sometimes you just have to love cheap entertainment.

That is how it all starts. Denial followed by the unwillingness to understand the obvious. Happened to me as well many years ago. Had to attend a few counseling and rehab sessions in Seville to finally come around.:D
