I hate Peoplenet, where are you parked and recipes thread

Thanks!
he's made me laugh, smile, cry, and lose my mind since I've had him, but he's a pretty good dog overall.... spoiled rotten is an understatement LOL. I should have brought him to work with me today.

 

Know how you feel. Mine's done the same to me. She lost her truck privileges after eating the contents of my wallet and some paperwork. She can come out again once the 'puppy' gets worked out.

 

THANK YOU!

Good to know that I wouldn't be able to have the setting changed if I wanted... Don't want my company to accuse me of doing it... And I don't think last driver tried to do it either...
So... I better use this "bonus" wisely so I can have it when I want it...

 

I guess this is normal then

 

Our company password for the trucks is the last digits of the VIN, which I guess is a factory setting.

 

I think they all go through that. Half the trick is learning your pup's habits and working around that. Things I have learned the hard way:

1. Bring two of her favorite chew toys. She generally likes those more than anything else in the truck.
2. Lucy gets a little upset when she figures out we're getting in the big truck, and for the first hour or two. It's a real good idea to take her for a walk before we get going.
3. Place my duffel bag right against my pillows to keep her off them. Both her mouth and her butt.
4. Take her for a walk before leaving her in the truck alone (to eat or shower). She'll doze right off for hours.
5. When leaving her alone the truck, make it once. The dog doesn't get anxious over time. She just knows you left, now you're back. Going in for a shower, then coming back and immediately going back to eat == upset, chewing dog.

Fortunately, the only chewing damage was when I first got her and wasn't smarter than her yet. The bedspread got chewed a little, and edges/corners of the pillow cases. Months later I discovered she found an old pair of boots I had behind my seat for spares. They were about shot anyway, so no great loss.

 

You're welcome. This is another of my pet peeves (driver rewards and the like). If I can't hire someone I can trust to operate the truck right, I'm gonna sell the truck not try to defeat a bad driver. At least if a company does insist on using these settings, the fleet manager should know exactly how those settings will affect the driver, and be able to train them on what to expect and how it works.

I set mine to all zeroes. Easy to remember. I have yet to get the '99 Century I bought into a Freightliner dealer for that. The driving settings are right, but it needs the tire size (rpm) setting changed due to swapping to lo-pro 22.5 and get the password reset to zeroes. The guy I bought it from didn't have the pw handy, and the vin and zeroes didn't work.

 

@Rocks called me about that issue Saturday while i was twiddling my thumbs getting loaded in Bolingbrook and it had me stymied as I never heard of that before. Now it makes sense what it was doing.

 

While it certainly sounds like it's a Passmart system I guess I'm still puzzled why you wouldn't call the shop and make sure that's definitely what it is.

 

Because it may be activated and it's not supposed to be. Like my trucks "driver rewards" or the 68 mph truck I had at Stevens.

A case of "Don't ask, don't tell".

The check engine light flashing as an indication its about to ramp down makes sense though, it would need some way of warning the driver when the limit is reached on trucks that didn't have a Driver Information Display.

Sounds like an obscure setting many people may not be aware of.
