I turned down the opportunity to be assigned a Freightliner Columbia, preferring to stay with the older FLD120. Eventually, the older tractor was returned to Ryder, and I had to take a newer model from Penske against my better judgement. Sure enough, the mirrors were shakey, etc. I cut sections of tarp strap and squeezed them between the mirror glass and the outer aerodynamic mirror body.

It seems that ordinary mirrors get the shakes no matter what. I dunno about anyone else, but the trucks I've driven with Moto mirrors didn't seem to shake nearly as much.
