Not nearly as nice of a creature comfort as that big bunk you ride around in
That’s my next order of business

That was the part about ODFL I liked - breakdowns, once called in, were clocked at $25/hour. Fuel and drop and hooks at $5/piece - truck dropped at home base and off we went - our biggest aggravation was having to swap out our stuff to a different truck.
This is why we quickly left OTR trucking for LTL.Coffey, 4mer trucker, Pamela1990 and 3 others Thank this. -
Dumb question - I thought the black cover wasn't a cover, but was part of the radar itself? With my reasoning being that it looks the same as a computer screen so that black cover must be the outer part of the radar.
So what you're saying is that it's actually only a cover and that the radar itself is behind that cover?
If I understand you correctly, then what happened when you removed yours? Does the rain and snow and debris and all that not mess up your radar, especially since maybe removing the cover will expose any wirings that the radar has behind the cover?
And were you getting the same Adaptive Cruise Fault that I keep getting or were you getting different faults that were still messing up your cruise control?blairandgretchen Thanks this. -
It's what we used before a throttle lock which was before cruise.

Most of my loads. And ones that pay are the lighter ones
Save that 80k for the Megas
Or in your case that 120k stuff
Aren’t you set up for heavy haul?blairandgretchen Thanks this. -
It’s just a “ pretty my truck thing “ Peterbilt does
I was having many issue and it was going off in the rain. Slamming the brakes etc
I called the VP and he said try removing that cover
I pulled over. Pulled it off and no issues
That was about 150k miles agoLast edited: Dec 20, 2021

Two out of three of our trucks don't have cruise, but they never throw a code!
Coffey, 4mer trucker, Accidental Trucker and 4 others Thank this. -
Here’s mine
Although I swapped the bumper. Still no issues
Long FLD, Speed_Drums, Pamela1990 and 2 others Thank this. -
The other truck brands don’t use the cover
It’s a Peterbilt thing
I think the distance between the radar and the cover is the issue
If my radar ices up then the system will shut off meaning that the cruise and all that stops but it recognizes that there an obstruction which is what it’s supposed to doOxbow, blairandgretchen and BeHereNow97 Thank this.
