If you've been around the trucking industry any amount of time at all, then you are probably familiar with APU's(auxiliary power units). If you are not familiar with what an APU does please please google it.
For those of you who are familiar with them, I need your help!
I feel like buying one is the right way to go, but I am torn as to which brand and type to get, generator or battery.
If you read this and/or you have experience with APU systems, please feel free to comment or inbox me you opinions.
Thank you in advance!!

Not Everyday is a Good Day!
No matter where you go, what you do, or how good your attitude is, you're gonna have a bad day at some point. The way you react to these circumstances will determine just how long that bad day lasts!
I had one of those days today. It started pretty good with me getting loaded this morning. It didn't take long, then I was on my way from Waco, TX to Louisiana. When I got to Rusk, TX I was unable to completely read the wordy bypass sign. It appeared to be only for the highway running north and south through town. I was heading east so I proceeded on US84 east.
It didn't take long for the local city cop to notice me, and he proceeded to write me a $170 ticket. He didn't laugh when I suggested they use that money to buy a bigger truck route sign.
I then delivered my load to Coushatta, LA, dropped my trailer there and hooked to an empty then proceeded to Shreveport, LA for my next load. Once there, dispatch called and said that I drpped the trailer at the wrong customer and that I needed to drive the hour back to go and deliver it to Mansfield Mill.
I did what they asked, but was not real happy about it. Sometimes you gotta take the bad with the good.
Anyway, I got a load going from Shreveport, LA to Toledo, OH. I'll check in from there!
Bye!!

Quick update!!
Quick update!
This will be a very short week for me as I've asked the load planners to keep me close by. I have a minor surgical procedure on Friday morning and want to make sure I'm home Thursday. I am also taking the full three day weekend in observance of Independence Day.
So here we go:
I did a drop and hook yesterday in Coushatta. I dropped my Ft Worth load and picked up one going to Ok City, OK. From there I reloaded this morning coming to Mansfield, LA. I'm unloading now and going to pick up here going to Russellville, AR tomorrow. From there I'll catch you up again! God bless and be safe!!

Last weeks total miles!
I left off the last time leaving New Orleans heading to Lacombe,La to pick up a load of coffee to take to Ft Worth. Got that load delivered last night and then did a drop and hook at that same customer. The load was scrap paper going back to our drop yard in Coushatta, LA. That load was the official end to that week, and gave me a total of 3432 paid miles for the week.
Once I got to Coushatta, I dropped and hooked a load going to Ok City, OK. It's now 1am, I'm roughly 60 miles from there and gonna take a nap. Nighty-night y'all!
