    I booked a load from Ohio to the Lowes DC in Valdosta to get home for Christmas. Got to the shipper after 220 miles of deadhead and sleeping on a ramp to find out the load wasn't "scheduled" yet... they had no dock space available. Grabbed another load 40 miles away that paid a little less and delivered in Villa Rica tonight. So now I'm home a day early and didn't really lose any $$$ after the TONU on the first load and less deadhead. Hopefully Haggai has you back running good - really great people there!

    There is no truck GPS out there worth buying that's going to tell you we're a low bridge is, a no truck route, anything like that. Your best bet as I'm pretty sure you know if is Google maps. You do satellite view and you check your entire route that's the best you can do. Oh and I had to edit to also mention that I love your channel. You 4 make a great team. We are fortunate to have more than paper maps. Nothing is 100%, that's trucking. Any tool claiming to care, or make your route easier is a SCAM.....

    This info is in case you have the issue in the future with the Cummins X15 motor.
    Hello I don't know if you watch Trucking Together' but Martin just fully rebuilt a Cummins X15 motor. They have a video called "FINDING A FIX & FIRST DRIVE" | Real Life Trucking - Episode #420. The truck would run for a few minutes and die over and over again. His manifold would get air blocked. His friend that is a mechanic said there is a by-pass to fix this issue. Once he did what his friend said the issue was gone.
    Again, posting this comment so if you have a Cummins X15 playlist for things like issues. You might want to save this video in that playlist.

    @skyeram ปีที่แล้ว

    I replaced the windshield in my 680 a few years ago. It was $450 then. So, with all the "inflation" that's going on, it would probably be around 2-3 times that now. As far as inspections... if you're using the same DOT numbers as you were in Hotshot, it shouldn't matter. But if you switched DOT numbers, then your CSA score is too high (lower the #, the better). But I've NEVER had a broker go by that. They ALWAYS go by the amount of time your DOT has been active.

    Umm, not knowing how you wired that new inverter to the battery bank, I can say this about inverters in general. Whether or not you have anything (Fridge, etc.) plugged into it, the inverter itself uses power. So if it's wired directly to the battery then it's sitting there drawing current from your battery regardless of whether you unplugged everything from it. The internal electronics are consuming power. (edit: think of it as "idling" your truck engine. It's using fuel but doing nothing) The only way to prevent the battery from draining will be to either disconnect it completely or install a switch (a kill switch) that will completely disconnect the inverter from the battery bank.
