<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lepton1, post: 3370652, member: 101602&quot;]Thanks, Sherrif... and I&#039;ll definitely be dropping a PM from time to time.&nbsp; Got assigned my truck in Mira Loma (2012 Cascadia) and it&#039;s very peaceful now sitting in a truck with open windows and vents that isn&#039;t idling and isn&#039;t moving for the first time (my mentor was big on idling in all weather with a fear of fresh air).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One issue I have is that I obviously didn&#039;t bring my heavy tools for training, expecting to buy the Road Ready Kit when I got my truck.&nbsp; I was told they discontinued the RRK.&nbsp; If I get my dispatch tomorrow morning looks like I&#039;ll need to pick up a few things at the first Walmart and/or truck stop as soon as possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>During my pretrip for assignment I noticed one glaring issue.&nbsp; Whoever drove this truck before me failed to drop the air bags or failed to get the landing gear down when pulling out from a trailer.&nbsp; The rear bracket on the frame is bent from the king pin pulling on it.&nbsp; I was told not to worry about it, about 20% of all Cascadia&#039;s on the fleet have the problem and they aren&#039;t wanting to replace the brackets... doh!?&nbsp; Hope I don&#039;t have to worry about a DOT inspection anytime soon.&nbsp; I think I&#039;ll be putting it in the shop for inspection before going on the road and see if they can at least bend it down if not replace it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
