No outlets to plug a charger into as its not at my house but 1/4 mile away at a store.Is it normal for a truck to die in a day with 40s weather.If so this is going be a huge pain in the butt and I gotta get a booster pac or some thing.

I had to charge a 1971 Fiat Allis dozer about a month ago, it took forever to get enough juice to get it to turn over. Had 2 pickups pulled up to charge it. Took about 30 minutes to get enough to turn over, another 30 minutes to get a good turnover going. In all, charged for about 2 hours before it would take off. It is the same system these semi's have, it is nothing like jumping a car, takes a lot of juice.
Something is still on for it to die that quick or you got a bad battery, could be a dead cell or two. Battery can up and go bad in no time. I had to replace one that was less than a year old due to a dead cell. Need to get someone out there with a voltmeter to check that. |
Been lurking here for a while now. The hubby started with TMC in August. We only have one Pilot location in the state of MN so I found the transflo site...... The problem I hear about is the fuel stops don't match up with transflo stops.
here is the link for transflo locations. http://www.transfloexpress.com/truckstops.asp |

Just to let you know this is a repost for JErod. WIld Bill thanks for the response, i think Monroe is a little too far, but who knows. I have seen a lot of covered wagons off.
HEY Jerod, I have been looking long and hard at TMC. I was wondering what i would be considered Longhaul or Linehaul? I live just west of I-96 in Grand Rapids, MI. i was also wondering if you have anything dedicated in that area. I understand you have to work for TMC for at least 6 months before dedicatred Thanks for any help |
