    What if the bolts break? or most likely the wood panels? I was surprised how much #### came flying around the cab when i wrecked... I had to get all new mounting brackets on my headache rack because one of the U bolts sheared completely off... Id just hate to have to dodge flying wood pieces or a rouge microwave . survive the wreck and get killed by a microwave crushing u .

    Agreed. I was always concerned what my old Stanley thermos would do to me if ever I rolled one, but the thought of running short of coffee scared me more.

    Lol :D. I just remeber cleaning up my truck when it was in the body shop.. Cant tell you how many times i found something not even close to where it was originally located. Stuff from the top shelf somehow ended up underneath the bunk . somethings were never found again.

    That's pretty funny. And a real issue!

    Mine isn’t bad at all. Of course its got all new dash skeleton and new screws. The new screws come with a dab of the blue thread locker so that may help. None of the Cascadias I drove rattled at all. Century Class…..that was a different story.

    If the drawer isn’t self locking that’s gonna hurt the head if you roll to the drivers side and it comes flying out….

    Our OM wants a pail of salt and a 4' spade shovel to ride in our daycabs unsecured.
    Told him not w me driving.
    I can see that shovel flying around in a crash and decapitating the driver.

    We've stopped for fuel at The Love's in Cedar City.

    Card reader is broke, and now have a giant bolt in a trailer tire.

    The horror.

    I got a 2 gallon pail of salt under the bunk. Once I get a toolbox outside on frame there won’t be much inside. A shovel in a daycab is just stupid.
