Truck Wash Mention (not shown due to time constraints of video): We spent 1.5 hours there in total. At first they wanted to spray Meguiars spray wax on the parts missed to clean them which I declined since I had just paid to get it all polished and didnt feel them spraying wax on dirt and road grine and then wiping with a microfiber was the best choice. So we waited in line nearly an hour for a...

    Is it some sort of design flaw that my 2016 579 has a loose bumper on the drivers side too?😂😂 I blame the NorCal roads, I run from Sacramento to Salinas/Santa Cruz area, or sac to San Jose area.

    I bought an EcoFlow Wave 2 two weeks ago and I have a hard time cooling my truck since I don’t put the shades up and it takes power through the inverter which generates heat when running the ac. The battery pack is on back order so for now I hook the ac to some spare 12v batteries I also set the vent to the sleeper window so I don’t need to set the tubes up every time I use it I just slide the window and that’s it. I am planning to upgrade the battery bank to extend the run time and hope it runs cooler when the battery pack arrives too

    • @TruckingTogether
      @TruckingTogether Před 10 hodinami

      I don’t know anything on those units but did see some reviews saying the cooling isn’t great out of them, hopefully you can get it figured out and working for you! I don’t know if they offer a money back but maybe look into that if it’s not working out.

      @philipng6598 Před 4 hodinami

      @@TruckingTogether yea wish I knew before buying it. EcoFlow is in power station business and they have a pretty good ad campaign that’s why I got sucked into buying their product even though the heat pump is useless for us we all have bunk heaters in our trucks for cold weather. Anyways I hope when I get my lithium battery pack built and put in I can run the ac on max power for 34 hours or longer

    Never understood the "logic" of checking in 3 hours ahead of your appointment, ESPECIALLY when it would only be 4:30 then. Nope. Not gonna do that. Imagine I just arrived just in time for the real appointment, will check in then.

    • @TruckingTogether
      @TruckingTogether Před dnem

      they told me to check in at 4.30 when I told them my appointment was for 7. So I was doing what they wanted me to do, its their show not mine. I would of rather slept in myself

      @@TruckingTogether Yes I understand your thinking. I only tried to say that I've learned that the day/evening crew will say anything to get you out of their hair. Morning crew does not know what time you got there, so (after a few of these situations) I started to check in close to actual appointment time because there is nobody gonna be able to tell you that it's wrong to 'arrive' half hour before appointment. My hubby did not like it because he always kept hoping on a miracle that a 3 hour early check in would result in a 3 hour early (off) loading. 😘

  • @darylthisdelle7702

    Wow big difference in videos, the last one to this one. I actually liked that one showed how terribly wrong things can go when your out there and things go south to this video where everything was very relaxed. It can happen one maybe two times a week. Then you go 3 weeks and everything is running like a well tuned pocket watch. Then bang it happens again. It’s so frustrating because so many times the trucking company gets no money or no where near enough money, Varey rare the trucking company is happy with the compensation money it deserves. Enough ranting. Martin man your one heck of a man that can fix or find and fix what ever has gone south on your equipment. I used to hate rattles. Buy a tractor, shake rattle and roll as they say. I like the idea of each tractor has its own trailer. Less ware and tear on just one unit plus gives you flexibility. All these things add up to the bottom line and less pressure on everyone . If one trailer breaks down you still got the other one. No trailer no wheels go round and round and then the $ sign falls out on the scheme of things. Great video guys. Hope things are going better out there for Alice. Home in a few days..Have a great and a safe day. Happy trails to you, D…
