I'm glad you're able to be in a position to buy a truck and make money at CRST. I done a lease with them on the flatbed side in 2012. I done ok with the freight, the problem was I had a maintenance nightmare for a truck. After being down for 3 weeks at the local Detroit shop in Savannah, I found out they leased me a truck with low compression on a cylinder and didn't help me with the shop charges. My engine brake wouldn't work with low compression. I cleaned the truck out and walked away.

so my tripac apu isn't throwing out any codes, but shuts off within 3-4 minutes with the red triangle (without blowing any cold air). I noticed the moment the condenser fan comes on, the system shuts down. During this time the alternator belt keeps rotating, but the clutch never engages at all. The APU unit also beeps at start. Any idea what this could mean?

The groups pushing speed limiters are funded by the companies that are pushing autonomous vehicles. Once enough people are screaming about trucks slowing down traffic, then there will be a push for a single truck lane. Yes, we all understand weight makes trucks go different speeds, but they don’t care about the individual. They want total consolidation of the industry.
