Sounds like an aftertreatment issue beginning. Do you have a DD motor? My 2015 Cascadia was doing that for about 2 months,off and on, before i staryed derating due ti DEF crystalising in the exhaust system..

It has a Cummins X15. I happened to catch a mechanic from a chain truckstop here working on another guys truck. My batteries died from 3 starting attempts and sitting all night. He's gonna come over, jump it and see if we can't figure it out. He mentioned turning the key on for three seconds then off, repeat and repeat a third time. I guess it's like rebooting a computer or something. Came up with a good repair solution, rather than reporting it and waiting 2-3 hours for the company to set up a repair then 2-4 more for the repair shop to send a tech out I offered to call my company and set up a repair through proper channels and he was like, yeah, that's good, then I said or I can just give you like $20 cash...he says the cash is good. Works for me too, I'd lose more than that waiting for a work order. Anyone ever do that or is it frowned upon by company drivers?
So to update, I've been having problems off and on with this issue for about a month now. Last night at the Raphine Va (sp correct this time lol) Petro shop bay they replaced all 4 batteries and I was gonna move over to a different bay so they could check this issue. I stalled between bays and they pushed me back out of the way. This morning they came checked it out. The high pressure fuel pump went completely out. He says the fuel pump is a 3 day $10,000 job. So for those of you still thinking about truck ownership or leasing...let that sink in 3 days and $10,000 for a fuel pump replacement!!! As a company driver I'll probably get either another truck brought to me or a hotel room, 3 days breakdown pay and be rolling again refreshed and no worse for the wear.
Possibly fuel pump failing. It has to keep pressure at 16-30k psi (thats a lot)
Hahaha didnt read last post till after i replied.
It’s not a $10,000 job it’s warranty and even if it wasn’t it’s about 3 1/2 thousand dollars.
Your company will definitely put you in a hotel while warranty work is done if it can get into the shop quickly but if it can’t the waiting line for first come first served at international and freight liner dealerships can be several weeks
Yeah my fuel pump on my ISX is only about 2500 plus labor to change it. Takes longer sometimes to get the part than to change it.
I thought dudes price seemed mighty high. He said $7500 for the pump and $2500 for labor but he is the tech here not the parts guy. My sister says to me, "that's a lot, I had the fuel pump fixed on my car and it was $250) lol. But regardless, it doesn't cost me anything more than the difference between what I get in breakdown and what I'd have made driving. Hopefully they'll be quick.
White's is where I park when I'm going to be spending time off at the cabin.
Well they chose to tow me to a terminal 2 hours away. I was probably looking a 2 weeks as they are moving to a new location in 1 week and are currently backed up. My DM had a different truck there I was going to use for 2-4 weeks then get mine back but I decided just to swap as I didnt want anything left in a truck I wasn't going to see for a month, especially valuables. I figured if I'm gonna be moving stuff might as well just make it a permanent move. New trucks a year older but only 40,000 more miles. Only 2 real problems. 1. The drivers seat right armrest is broken. 2. My truck was gray, this ones white. Twice now, once last night and once this morning I couldn't find my truck when coming back from the store...then it donned on me I was looking for a gray truck...doh.
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

I have a mechanical issue I want to pick yalls brains about since someone else may have experienced it before. 2019 International, a few weeks ago i started it up in the morning to recharge the batteries, after a couple minutes i stepped on the accelerator pedal to defeat the 5 minute auto shutoff. The truck started violently shaking and faded till it died. I started it back up and it did the same thing immediately. I had a Loves tech present while i started it 3 more times with the same result. He had no clue as he wasn't qualified for mechanicals only tire replacement. Well about 20 minutes later it started right up and ran fine. Last week it happened again and i had the mechanics there replace both fuel filters as we both agreed it seemed to be fuel starved. Well this morning i stupidly did it again (stepped on the gas) and same result. I had started just letting it run the 5, die then restarting it but thought I'd gas it then it would keep running while I gathered my shower stuff and cleaned up. It only does it when its first started cold, once it warms up it runs and starts fine. It also only started a few weeks ago, it's very, very, very aggravating. Any ideas?
