    It seems things arent working so well anymore. I have just been kicked out of the mechanics shop and company wants to put me in a hotel for the rest of the day.

    Long story short. My trucks front end collision system is throwing errors and truck slams on breaks for no reason. No cars, bridges, objects in front of me. Brought truck in on 1/19. Their in house freightliner mechanic saw all the codes in the ecm, but cannot find any issue with sensor. He clears the codes in the ecm and releases truck back to me on 1/20
    I get assigned a load 1/21 and drive 10 miles and collision system starts throwing alerts "front sensor blocked" "active cruise control disabled" and truck brakes for no reason.
    I turn around go to the mechanic shop and notify the manager Rick the problem still isn't fixed. I told him all you guys did was clear the ecm codes that is not called fixing a problem. He tells me that's called "protocol". I told him no that's called "lazyness". He then tells me to get out of his shop and don't come back.
    5 minutes later I get a phone call from my dm telling me he is going to get me a hotel because I'm not allowed in the shop today.
    This close from cleaning my truck out. I will go into detail about yesterday's issue that happened while waiting for the truck to be repaired in another reply.

    I love how these threads always go from singing the company's praises to, OMFG WTF just happened here or this place sucks don't work here.

    Not aiming this post at you OP, just talking in gen this seems to be how they always go. Lets all face it every company has BS it just depends on what BS you can handle is what makes or brakes your time there.

    No one is "afraid" of driver-facing cameras. It's the principle of it. It is unAmerican.
    Hey, can the Police just walk into your house and search it? As long as you have nothing to hide, you wouldn't mind if they just showed up without a warrant and snooped around, would you?
    Can I look at all of your emails any time I want? You don't have anything to hide, right?
    Good lord... I am constantly amazed at how quickly people will agree to have their privacy invaded because they "have nothing to hide." It's not about hiding.
    Is this America? Or The United States of North Korea?
