Finally got a good nights sleep last night. Thank goodness! I feel like a new person now. We got into Amarillo around 2030 to our pick-up after stopping to fill up the reefer. Got in there, got the trailer washed out and dropped it with their empty trailers, picked up our loaded one, got our paperwork and we were off. From there we headed into Amarillo to the T/A which was only about 6 miles away and hit the scales. We were over on our drives, which we had a feeling we were because it was a heavy load, but we decided to park and call it a night and deal with it in the morning. From there we went inside, used the facilities and then hit the sack. We parked in Idleaire because we had this bright idea that we wouldn't idle and just use the Idleaire. Well, you can't use Idleaire with these mirrors they have installed on these trucks on the passenger window. So, looks like we will have to never use Idleaire or have the mirror removed. I am thinking we are going to have the mirror removed. I'm not even sure what it's exact purpose is. Hopefully someone can tell me.
Right now we are headed into New Mexico. Because J drove us in last night, he couldn't even start driving until 0700 because of his DOT break. But we didn't even get up until 0730. Then we farted around and took Smokey for a wal, finished up some paperwork, went and showered, filled up, slid the tandems and re-weighed. So all that took a little time. But we are finally off. Our first stop will be Clines Corners,NM because I am craving one of their Green Chile Cheeseburgers. YUMMY!!!!
Smokey is doing a little better in the truck today. He actually moved from the floor in the bunk to the floor in front of the passenger seat WHILE the truck was moving. So that is an improvement. It is just going to take him a little while to get used to the movement. I am going to post a few pictures of him in a separate post after this. They aren't really good because he is just laying in the back, but I will get some of him outside standing up.

You found a retarded IdleAire staff. There is an adapter that compensates for the mirror. It's a two piece adapter and a bit of a pain to install (tight fit), but it lowers the hole so the hose can get underneath the mirror.
Also, the mirror can fold upward. Those clowns should know that - it's not like those mirrors are rare or anything.
You'll find that about IdleAire - the staff at any given location either is really good or they are completely useless. No real in between.
