    I know right, it’s because Paccar (same thing happens on 680’s) cheaps out on the grade and thickness of the plastic used.

    $170K truck but hey let’s cut every corner we can for cost... I just wish someone would convince them to hire someone with automotive experience for their interiors. It’s like they don’t even try to care about catching interior rattles during vibration testing. I know fleets are the target customers but geeze...

    I'm having flashbacks of my early years in trucking, back when I worked at the chicken plant. They have me picking up eggs, right from the factory complex (chicken houses and egg sorting facility in rural IN). The odor of chicken poop brought back memories I would have preferred not remember, mostly because hauling live chickens means you get pooped on (literally) a lot.

    Switching trucks might be good ...but there's also that chance..of getting something much worse...kind of like switching jobs over and over...I'd rather make do with the evil I know and make it work....nothing will ever be perfect...be it job or daily life

    Yeah, but this truck's nanny system is torture. I can drive an OnGuard equipped truck, but an Assurance equipped truck is out of the question. And Deland was trying to hunt down another new truck until I questioned why. There are plenty of drivers here that have been with the company longer than I have that deserve a new truck ahead of me.
     
    Lonesome, 650cat425 and iraqralph43 Thank this.

    Lol you realize that comes with a company change right? I still have a 13 spd and no nanny systems on my 2019, but we can’t give him what he needs to stay whole.

    No, I was under the impression that @iraqralph43 was a Crete driver.
