    I do agree. Please don't misunderstand me, I am not pro onguard at all, just have learned to make it work for me since I can't ditch it.

    lets play the hypothetical game real quick. Let's just say if that plastic lens cover could be removed...hypothetically of course...and once removed someone could place a hypothetical piece of aluminum foil inside said lens or anything that blocks light (hypothetically)....then put the lens cover back on in a hypothetical fashion, hypothetically it will probably stop trying to kill you....hypothetically

    Did you use to work at VW in the diesel engineering department ? I don't want a real answer, of course, a hypothetical one will do fine. :biggrin_25511:

    No..but I did stay at a holiday inn express once, so I'm probably considered a v dub engineer in most social circles.

    Didn't take it as you being pro on guard.

    I never use the accelerator override though, it causes even more dangerous situations ime.

    I'm hoping the wingman on the KW is better.

    No hypothetical cruise control if the hypothetical on guard were to be hypothetically disabled.

    Ok. Now I get the frustration felt my some on here from time to time. Long winded post following.

    So due to delays at my 2 stop unload I arrive at my pickup in Lancaster PA with 4 hours on my 14 instead of the 7 or 8 I planned for.

    It's a drop and hook going down to Dover by 23:59 tonight...with traffic and lights I'm looking at 2 hour drive drop....hook and 90 minutes to make the hour drive to my parents house and if I run short I'll just park in Carneys Point NJ and they will come get me. No big deal.

    Get to shipper for the load supposedly ready since 7am.

    "Back into door 4 you are a live load"

    ####

    Ok let me plan for all contingencies here.

    So I call my ICA.

    Of course I get forwarded to some random...

    Tell him the situation.....

    "So what are you asking?"

    "I am asking can we open the window up in this drop and hook"

    "I can't do anything for sure until you know you can't make it"

    "Yes but I'm not saying I can't make it...as a matter of fact I probably can...however my dilemma is I am not sure I can park overnight there and in pretty sure my clock will run out while I'm there....so while I know I CAN make it I need to see if we can open the window so I can run legal to get to a safe haven"

    "Well if you get there and they kick you off call the local PD and they will escort you to a safe haven...that's all I can do for you right now"

    "Thanks dude"
