Are all the other plug ins operating okay? Did you try plugging in the cooler in another location?

I got a new cooler and it works fine from the sleeper 12V socket.

Also the other 12V front socket works fine.

The load is too large for that connection if it's melting the wires. How many amps does that cooler pull?

4 Amps, but nothing is connected to the cigarette lighter any more and still getting the sparks.

The layout says that the F18 A/B fuses are for the 12V cigarette lighter. Anybody knows what the A and B slots are for? Also, I was using a Koolatron cooler from the cigarette lighter and it not only blew the fuse, but also the 12V connector melted, blowing the fuse again. Now when I try to replace the blown fuse I get a spark from the board trying to insert the new fuse. any ideas on how to get this fixed and what the problem is?

Thanks for the kind words. I got my CDL applying through this website and I am 6 months into the job. I am earning 45 cents per mile, 2 weeks away from paying back my training costs and about to do a transfer inside the company that will earn me 90 cents.

I really can't complain about how it's been going so far, my only problem is that the Dallas terminal is 350 miles from the city where my family lives and I was looking for a better setup. I am trying to wade through the BS that I come across. Not sure if you already have an article on that subject but it would be worth.

Hey Peter, welcome to our forum!

I am assuming you are not a driver just yet, or are very new to this. If that's the case I urge you to find your way into this career through the most effective and least expensive means. Here's where you can find some of the most legitimate trucking companies who train newbies through their Paid CDL Training Programs.

We are here to help you understand this career. One thing you have to realize is that there are no "secret" companies out here paying astronomical incomes to their drivers. The pay is pretty much competitive across the board. The secret to making great money as a trucker is to be a great trucker. This is an extraordinary job requiring extraordinary people.

Everything about a trucker's income is based on his performance. Average truck driver pay is around fifty or sixty thousand per year. There are plenty of drivers here in this community who earn upwards of 100,000 dollars per year. They are above average. They outperform the average drivers. That's the key to success in trucking. You have to understand the career and put forth the effort to reach your goals. The name on your truck's doors cannot do that for you.

Good point on the 1099 and the benefits. I totally missed that aspect.

I found the following job offer, I want to know your take on it. Is it legit? If not, how would they scam me?

The red flags I see are 1. Too little experience required 2. For a high pay
