Any tips on copying a volvo key?

Freightliner and International always could. I don’t see why Volvo couldn’t
Plus they have truck parking

 

Next time you go the company yard snag one from the service department, try one out of a non-issued truck in the yard, they probably duplicate the keys

 

Modern Freightshakers only have I think four keys total across the country. One carrier I know of has ALL their Cascadias keyed the same across the fleet.

If yer gonna steal a truck, swipe a shaker! No body will care enough to report it, and the keys are stupid simple to copy!

 

I found it ot be most successful to just grab it out ot a truck that has not been issued yet, and move on.

 

This made my day, thank you.

 

Way back in my early aviation days, aircraft manufactures only had between 6-10 different key cuts. They figured only a pilot could steal a plane and they are very easy to track/trace. But what crooks would do, is go to a small airport and steal Nav/Com radios out of a plane, then go to another airport and steal the same brand and model of radios out of a second plane and replace it with the first set. Now plane owner A reports his radios stolen, complete with S/N's for the FAA hot sheet, that are now sitting in plane owner B's aircraft who never has a clue. Now the crooks can sell the "clean s/n" radios with little fear.

 

If you have a nice small square file and a spare key it is fairly easy to wake a shaker key, once you learn how how to use it, pretty easy to start other trucks of the same brand, that use that key type
