What happens when the original crew of Patrick, Chilly, Buttermilk, Eric, and Jerry come together for a night filled with laughter and reminiscing? Imagine Buttermilk and Chilly brimming with excitement about meeting their new grandson in Oregon, even as he faces the bittersweet nature of farewells. Join us for a series of amusing and tense travel tales, including a particularly unforgettable landing attempt in Salt Lake City. With the spontaneity of our conversations, expect unexpected text message interruptions and plenty of chuckles as we navigate through the week's antics and adventures.
Switching lanes, we dive into the chaotic yet fascinating world of trucking. From the bumpy parking lot at a Pilot fuel station to the intricacies of fleet maintenance and truck swaps, we paint a vivid picture of the teamwork required to manage a fleet. We explore the latest innovations from Freightliner and Volvo, such as auto-defogging headlights and the curious removal of traditional air brake controls, with a humorous tale of trucks being parachuted from military cargo planes. These tales give a glimpse into the dynamic environment of truck maintenance and the ever-evolving trucking technology.
Ever wondered how auxiliary power units (APUs) and generators play a crucial role in trucking? We discuss their advantages in reducing fuel consumption and managing emissions, especially during extreme weather conditions. Our journey through truck APUs reveals real-life challenges with power management and highlights the transition from Comfort Pro to Dynasys systems. With insights into future possibilities like fully electric APUs inspired by the RV industry, we look forward to a future filled with more reliable and cost-effective trucking solutions. Join us for a rollercoaster of stories, laughter, and intriguing trucking insights in this episode.
