    Wtf!? I was just moseying down highway 50 through west Virginia, in no hurry at all and the #### critical event light comes on and now I'm waiting for a call back from my ica about it. I'm in no hurry at all, and they got a roll event. I was on a section that was really bumpy, but never was my cab leaned over. Aaaggghhhh!

    Are you sure it was a roll event? You probably crossed a G-force threshold designed to prevent cargo damage.

    I doubt you'll face any disciplinary action, but next time slow down on really bumpy roads.

    I could go a little slower, but it's a us highway and when i say moseying, i mean it. I have plenty of time to deliver and am taking a 34 before my next pu. It sounds crazy, but I'm sitting here wondering if that geomagnetic storm somehow caused something weird to happen.

    On a company truck I was assigned once the settings were too sensitive and set off hard brakes when the stops were well controlled and within the parameters made known to us.

    Shop did something that corrected the issue on that truck.

    Really its no harm no foul as long as they dont see a pattern developing. This was company side so I cant speak to IC.

    what does your ICA say when that happens?

    I had 3 within an hour before.
    I told them my qulcomm was acting stupid. They didn't believe me. They thought I was trying to flip the truck. BS man

    Nothing.... I just call it in. I had 8 last year. This year I have 4.. Oh I forgot, I had to watch a video. To be honest I forgot what the video was. My dbl told me I had to , because the safety lady was riding his back. The only time I get one is when its raining or snow on the ground.
