To open that side reefer door, where the battery is, you have to twist those clamps, all the way

I gave you a like just for your patience getting it going as id have driven the truck straight through it long before it got started lol.

You know your stuff. Kudos!

Wow that really sucks someone not checking the fuel while in the yard.. I hope you get extra pay- Mechanics pay

One useful thing you can add to the truck is a telescoping ladder. In its collapsed state it is small enough to store in a larger bin or behind a seat. In the extended state they come in 10 or 12 foot tall ladders. Great for those times you need to see the top of the trailer or push the snow off if the cops in the area are targeting trucks for it. Also good for those times you bet someone you have a x foot ladder in your truck.

Loosen the nuts on the injectors until u see fuel.........the 4 nuts right above hand primer

Legend has it that the refer unit stalled out again and old Jonny is still there trying to prime it😂

Longer cables or a boost pack, I figured you would need the truck to reach the battery. Well first time usually solves the second. odd they don't put battery lugs on both sides of the unit externally.

Food for thought get yourself a jumper box

Thank you sir for posting these two videos. I've never had anything to do with refrigeration trailers but today I've learned a world of information about them. I felt like I was right there with ya. :-)

Johnny you are so awesome

I would sujest a jump box. Youv'e had to do a few jumps.

A jumper post sure comes in handy when hauling reefer trailers. I'm surprised your truck didn't have one and sure hope you have one now.

Look at your refer fuel tank. Notice that air chuck at the top ? After you fuel the tank put a shot of air into the tank to pressurize enough to push fuel up to the engine. Noticed you had an air hose to connect to your red tractor air line,,that would work too. If you raise the hood of the tractor Freightliners usually have a big brass starting lug. Position the tractor close to the refer unit and you will only need about 6 ' of jumper cable. No shrouds or flashlights needed either. Quite possible a receiver left the unit on after emptying product,,not the last driver. Good luck,,enjoy your videos. Regards

Good morning John or good night Wherever You Are I guess we're going to say something may your angels guide you to your destination and may God keep you safe

One of my favorite JBG videos!

Merhaba Çok güzel video

I know this is a older video but brother your patients is legendary! I would have taken a sledge hammer to that reefer in the first 60 seconds.

Nice job.

Great video John, almost as good as the one where you had to get wheels changed on the trailer. Top man!

You got it

Halfway through and this is one of your best videos ever

It's allliiive! ahaha Way to go, JBG!

Doesnt the apu charge the battery? And the apu is in the back whith battery cables running to it ? Just saying..

All that work that driver does not get payed for. :(

From the video those cables looked plenty long to reach the side of the truck.

I wouldn't think that the reefer is grounded to the trailer chassis I'm sure it's seperate so you would need the negative cable too

Looking foward to it. Thank you again!

What would have been more help than a longer set of jumper cables, would have been to loosen that small red knob. That is the air bleed, opening it while priming the fuel system lets the air get out of the system.

Thanks for the video. God bless

Good for you John this is a prime example of why I only pulled dry box's reefer just wasn't my thing ! LOL !

What is a button that you push down on the refrigerator

just another example of the crap one can encounter as a trucker.. you handled it well considering how frustrated you must have been - talk about time being shot! Good job JBG!

next time use the battery under your cat walk that's hook to the sleeper...... this happened to me before an the service man did that... boom started right up

Two Thumbs up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good job . The man of the hour

Since you have been running with ADL, I don't recall you ever saying anything about servicing the reefer units, maintenance on the motor, compressor, etc. When is this done? That motor must run up huge numbers of hours.

Note to self : get longer jumper cables and save myself and hour and aggravation!

Buy a booster jump start pack! 'been doing reefer 15 years and it was the best $150 I ever spent. Priming a reefer sucks on a good day. We keep on trucking though. :)

So sorry for your troubles, I recommend a lithium ion battery jump starter instead of jumper cables I have one from amazon that almost fits in my pocket that has saved me several times, claims it can jumpstart over ten dead batteries on one charge mine would work great on the reefer battery but they make one big enough for blue. Anyway you are in my prayers and God willing no more bad jokes on Johnny be good. The one I have cost $99 but the one big enough for a big rig is about $250 I think/the one I have is a Noco genius boost GB40 if your interested look it up on amazon and you will see them all and any accessories you might need

That's how you do it John! Stay safe out there.

You do know you can hook it up to the lug on the starter and ground it out on the unit frame right?

Have you ever watched Laurel and Hardy?

Way to go JBG!!!! Why did the truck shut off right before you got the reefee going?

Johnny be Tested! And there is life! Good job!

Is the refer not wired to get a battery charge off the trailer when it's plugged into the truck?

I think we all know the feeling of the when somin your working on finaly starts

First connect the positives. Then connect negative to live battery. Then connect other negative to a ground.

Your APU most likely has a closed fuel filter that is problem with them 9 out of 10 times.

Interesting. Somehow it never occurred to me the reefer had its own battery

way to go Big John coming to Albuquerque any time soon? would love to meet you.

18:44 When someone is trying to mess your day up, but you Outsmart them. #HardWork 🙏🏽💪🏽

Don't try this at home. Why the hell not?

should have into Bowman's shop and asked to borrow a step ladder

So that's how it's done.....

A little bit happy there Johnny? Be safe.

Good job Larry., ..er I mean John. lol

HURRAY! JBG is the best! :D

Great job keeping your cool!!! I know alot of guys that would have went off you what I mean.

Need to get a little jump pack

bet you went and got some 24' jumper cables

tell ADL to buy AGM batteries to avoid problems like that .

Boss was watching.

Man u have alot of patience

hint knob with red paint on it

You should get mechanics pay while you were doing this, because you didn't have to pull one away from another job to get the refer running. Lol. Awesome job

Didn't I see two sets of cables?

Alright John! And BabyBlue to lol!

Agh, just watched this, theres a tricpac right there!! I'm sure you figured that out by now. @4:05

You got another problem, how will you log this time? On duty or off duty! I would log it as on duty but that also will affect your driving time, all well tell the company what happen.....

Good job...that's truck driver pay and fix reefer pay to.????

you are a good driver

How did you know that door had been doing that for weeks and weeks if you're not the one that let it run out of fuel

You should look at getting a jumper pack for these instances johnny
