    Hi,
    Quick question about to purchase a 2012 Freightliner Cascadia DD15 and noticed it does not have a Johnny arm/ bar.Is it DOT legal?

    You bought a truck and thought the Johnny bar was for emergency?

    BTW it's legal...

    There's a green book you should read....

    Yes the Johnny Arm/Bar people have different names for it. It's the first time I've seen one without it in 12 years of driving for a company. .So I guess its legal then. Thanks for your quick reply.

    I do believe you had a brain fart and the actual nomenclature was incorrectly specified, but ####.

    Around these parts, it's a costly mistake. Go back and edit it driver. Haha

    My last truck had a drift lever. Worked really well for getting the trailer around tight turns.

    If you're buying a CRE truck I know they don't have them from what I've seen.
