    At my company we run 2007 Pete 379's with Caterpillar engines and we used to not slip seat trucks. Since we have started to one of our drivers has done something to his truck so it will not start. The tractors were purchased together so the keys start any truck but now all of a sudden when you go to start his this is what happens you turn the key all the power comes on radio, heat, etc. but when you turn it all the way nothing happens. Does anyone know what he could be doing to make it not start ?

    Check for a "non-connection" at the starter...perhaps he has placed a cap on the connector and removes it when he does his pre-trip in the morning.

    Is there such a thing as an ignition fuse?

    Probably took out a breaker in the fuse box...

    Sounds like he disabled the ignition circuit to the starter solenoid

    Look under the clutch pedal. He might have put something under it so it doesn't go all the way to the floor.

    That is a good idea but, you dont need to push the clutch in to start the truck. My guess is a fuse or relay, it is something he can put back in realtively easily. Sounds like someone is pouting about the slip seating.
