The proverbial locked Columbia

Do companies mind if drivers have a spare key made?

 

Why tell them?

 

Yeah, I guess that would be easier. Now where do you get one made? I don't think your average locksmith would have truck key blanks. Or do they?

 

Yup, thats where I got mine cut...

 

i got mine made at walmart it matches a GMC i believe

 

if ur locked out of a freightliner.. find someone who drives a freightliner. theres only 100-200 keys for the billions of freightliners on the road. so you got a 1/100 chance someone else at the truck stop has the same key as you

i have a spare key ziptyed under the hood of my truck the other night i locked myself out of my truck, opened the hood and theres a key

 

Happened to me the other day and the guy next to me had the same truck I did but different year but he put his key in my lock and turned and the door opened as if it was my key. Volvo's will do the same thing as well. My OnRoad wanted me to break the side window at the bottom of the door to get in..

Why would the trainer leave a student in the truck while he or she is sitting home enjoyin their time off. If i was the student I would have called the Co and asked why i was'nt in a hotel somewhere while my trainer was at home, Dont these companies that train reimburse for motel rooms for the students?
