"I locked my keys in my truck. Can I use your key?"

Freightliner use to only have six key patterns.
I use to, and still do, have a key in the ignition, one on my key ring and another hidden outside the truck.

 

Most of the Mack’s I drove you couldn’t lock the door unless you used the key.
This KW 680 is the same. Shut the door and it unlocks.

 

All Maverick Transport trucks are keyed alike.

I know, bought a used 2020 Maverick truck from Doggett. Parked next to a new 2024 Maverick company truck, got to chatting, asked him to try, opened it and fit the ignition cylinder too. Told him no snuggling that night, I fart real bad.

 

a few thoughts,

As a fleet owner, trucks are setup from the factory, but the factory has provided the means to have a small amount of tryout keys.

You can order a set if you want, it isn't a large set but it isn't cheap.

It isn't just freightliner, it is all of them.

GM was mentioned, the reason why GM used different profiles is because there was a limited amount of codes on five slots for a key.

Every truck I own has a spare key hidden on it, the driver does not know where it is but has to call one of the managers or myself to be told where it is. The driver will need a screwdriver and a flashlight to get it.

 

I can’t wait until you’re the retard asking for help and you get told to pound sand…. I can understand not wanting to give your keys to another driver, but would it really be so bad to take 5 minutes of your day and go walk over to his truck and try to open the door for him??

 

No because then his keys would have cooties from touching another trucks keyhole and then that would start a whole nother thread.

 

They wouldn't be hidden anymore if he told you...
