    Your cooking equipment will reset in 8 hours, provided you don't exceed 65 mph during that time.

    So I just saw a video by this girl, Amanda Hackey. I won't post it here because it's full of 4 letter words.

    well Red my boss feels just like you about driver rewards
    only 10 company trucks but they dont all do an equal job
    I never claim to be more then an avg driver but they grade on the curve now a days
    we have one driver who is late to every load every day every time
    he gets as much money and respect as I do
    except from me of course :cool:
    i never seen a load i cant deliver early
    so i would value an incentive laden program
    but in theory i would agree with you

    When I first got my T-600, I had KW reset the pin to zeroes, disable the idle timer, set max speed to 75, and a few other minor settings. Among those, I decided to leave the progressive shifting turned on. Being new to a CAT powered truck and it's preference to lower rpm operation, I decided to leave that alone at first. I figured I could get it turned off whenever I wanted, in the mean time protect myself against an inadvertent over-rev.

    So that feature is intended to keep the driver from winding it out through the gears. At around 1,400 rpm it cuts power back, at 1,550 you get no more. The way I drive, I never really noticed it. I already drive sensibly in the first place. However, that feature really sucks when loaded and pulling a steep driveway in low range (13 spd). Like most things intended to defeat driver stupidity, there are extended consequences beyond what the feature intends to fix. Eventually I had that turned off.

    Our ISX trucks have that. The only time I had an issue was at the Dickson Love's from the EB 40 off ramp. Hell it even confuses the ishift.
     
    TruckDuo Thanks this.

    If you were unfortunate enough to work for me, you'd get a truck with nearly no limits that you can drive sensibly. On the downside, you'd also be expected to air up tires and put lube on the 5th wheel once in a while. And you can't have my shoes.
