Unreasonable Request?

Attach the suffix " The Magnificent" and Zonar sounds like the perfect name for a an "Old School" magician.

Zonar The Magnificent.....that's an excellent magician's name! Black cape, sparkly stars on his pointy hat, long wand, 70's mustache.....

LMAO!

Here's a picture of a Freightliner battery switch, right inside the driver's door. Pete and KW switches are pretty much the same.

I'm preparing to go home for my first hometime also. I drive a 2015 S h i t brown Peterbilt, aka Demon Turd, and I don't have a shutoff switch in that location. I know the 2 Freightliners I trained had one there and the Pete's at school had one outside on the frame. Do Pete's normally have them?

I had a Pete 587 that had one in a similar location. I'm not sure about other models. Which do you have?

Demon Turd is a 587.

I appreciate everyones' responses.

I do have a mini fridge that i keep some perishables in so I don't want to completely shut off the battery if I can avoid it.

I suppose this is also why it is a good idea to not let it sit too long without starting it.

I have been home for up to 5 days before & let it sit without any issues but I guess there could be at some point.

I suppose I will somewhat try to follow this request & do something else with the stuff I keep in that fridge if my home plans have me away from the truck more than a couple days.

I haven't had that truck for over a year, but my recollection is that it was in a similar location. I would ask your shop or a Peterbilt dealer where the master battery disconnect switch is on your truck.

Yeah, I'm at the mothership, I'll ask RA before I leave.

I was told Pete's don't have the switch. And to not park on grass. Oh, and keep the APU set to autostart: low battery. Also, to enjoy my weekend. I think that covers everything they told me.

APU:

Auxiliary Power Unit

On tractor trailers, and APU is a small diesel engine that powers a heat and air conditioning unit while charging the truck's main batteries at the same time. This allows the driver to remain comfortable in the cab and have access to electric power without running the main truck engine.

Having an APU helps save money in fuel costs and saves wear and tear on the main engine, though they tend to be expensive to install and maintain. Therefore only a very small percentage of the trucks on the road today come equipped with an APU.

It is very likely that my memory is faulty; sorry! Yes, the APU will start up if the batteries get low; I remember that setting now.

Enjoy your weekend! Don't park on grass!
