I'm home now, but I went out to my truck today to make sure it started so I can leave tomorrow (it's been having a few issues). Nope, didn't start. There just happened to be another Swift driver delivering to the Home Depot right then. He was in a hurry to get to his next stop, so he left and then came back to give me a jump. It was very nice of him to go out of his way like that, even using his precious hours in the process. Thanks driver!!

Good to hear man. Hope all is going well. I had some good days off as well. Currently searching for a mty in Amarillo.

If you're driving a Freightliner, there's a switch under the driver seat that will turn off all the electrical system. Sure saves on battery when you're off for a few days!

Sure does! I never needed to use it since my truck always started fine. This isn't the first time I've had to jump the Volvo though. I'm trying to hold off taking it to the shop for a couple more weeks so they can deal with it when they do the B service.
