    I set a personal record the other day when I pulled a trailer into our shop that I had picked up with six flat spotted tires, four severely so and two to a lesser degree. Shop replaced all six.

    Well, truck is out of the shop for now. When I pulled into Fremont a new code popped up and now the adaptive cruise control and side guard assist are inop. The truck will have to come back to Fremont and go to Freightliner to get that sorted. Stuck at the moment because safety is partway through editing my logs to get the last 2 days on the record and so it’s got me on duty since 2 PM yesterday. Hopefully he’ll finish soon and I can get a little bit down the road.
    **As I was typing this the edits came through and I can roll now **

    Don't worry bout that adaptive cruise and side radar crap. Mine will occasionally do that for no reason, but only lasts a few minutes. You can still use the cruise, you just gotta click yes when it prompts you to. As for the side radar, who the hell cares, it'd be doing you a favor if it never came on again. First thing I do every time I start my ignition is go into the safety settings and turn that crap off!.. your call, but I'd never consider putting the truck in the dealership over that kind of stuff, they tried it with me once as a company driver, I said no thanks! It's working fine now lol

    Accelerator pedal has an intermittent fault and will stop working at random. The plan is to limp it to Freightliner of Omaha and then depending on their timeline for getting it running probably jumping in a loaner truck for a week or so.

    Well the truck decided to spice things up by alternating between full throttle and no throttle. So I am in Council Bluffs waiting for the loaner to get done in the shop. Then I have to bop back up to Fremont and move my stuff over and get moving down to South Carolina.
