    There is on certain trucks,is connected to the doors.
    Open one without setting the brake and the truck makes enough noise to wake the dead.

    Man that's awesome. Ya know now that you say that,this truck and a lot of trucks have specs on them that you don't know about til you read the manual and you have to ENABLE them before you can use them....which I think is ridiculous ! Bc u can't enable yourself,gotta PAY the shop to hook up to the computer...ugh

    Haha well for company drivers, we just have to run with whatever settings the company uses, which is typically 30mph top speed at 15 HP lol.

    I don't mind computer controlled stuff. As long as they never figure out how to make this truck drive itself then I'm good.

    That would be a good system,your butt gets out of the seat and you didnt pull the brake knobs they set themselves,i have operated asphalt rollers if you get out of the seat with out the parking brake on it will shut the engine off ,which automatically sets the brake,

    back in 1976 I bought an international Emeryville. Then in 1977 I bought a GMC crackerbox.
    Have had diesel fuel in my veins ever since. I guess it's one step up from being a Carney LOL.I mean no disrespect to the Carney's. I just don't want to stay in a town for a week. I do love the nomad life.
    I have a sleeping disorder I have to go to sleep at least three states away from were I woke up. LOL

    I once was at Precision Strip in Middletown along with about 900 other trucks. It was taking forever, so I get out of my truck- pissed off of course- to go b_____ to another driver on our account that I know. I then see this other Maverick driver who had a beard standing there talking his ear off. I joined the "conversation."........... Barley got a word in....... :laughing-guffaw::laughing-guffaw::laughing-guffaw:
