    Mine (2021 Cascadia) has been at Freightliner 4 days, 2 weeks in a row. Just got it back in time to escape the Pennsylvaniapocalypse and I'm so surprised to see the exact same check engine light accompanied by a major loss of power. The software jockies proving their ineptitude once again.

    Good thing I'm delivering in Miami, no hills and will park for home time over the weekend, might even turn this POS in.

    Guess I should be grateful mine is just an annoyance, albeit a major one, but it still runs semi-normal

    At least you’re making good coin. They will eventually give up and find you another truck. I drive a turd liner too but do not have the nanny crap to deal with. But at 200K it now has the typical squeaks and rattles. Have a good Christmas Boss.

    They handed me an email from corporate. It seems that a lot of our trucks are having ezpass issues in IL, IN, and OH. I don't think that's the same problem I am having because mine had issues in every one of the northeast states I visited on that load that went up by Boston last week. Not sure why we're having issues, it the same Bestpass setup that Wy-Moore used that I never had issues with.

    Indy has done all the company shop can do. Deland called said 'we can put you in a loaner or swap here in Indy'. I asked, why not let me keep this thing until after Christmas (like I asked originally), I can get the license plate from home, then we can deal with swapping...I've lived with ringing ears and elevated bp for a month, what's another week or two. So, that's what we're gonna do. This truck will have to go to the dealer, Lincoln or the junk yard...but after Christmas

    I’m scratching my head wondering why. They offered to take you out of it. Sorry, makes zero sense to me, but hey, you do you.

    Because, I would rather unload a bunch of crap at home, pick up the license plate and NY HUT sticker (at home) then I have less to schlep to a different truck. Plus, I wouldn't have to send the license plate to wherever and hope it made it safe and sound. Just a whole lot less hassle since I am going home for Christmas day anyway.

    I have 173K on my 579, and the most annoying rattle in that already is coming from the plastic encasing the steering column.
