Where is everyone #5

@wore out best way to decide when you can't decide is one of each.

 

My dad has that T600 with the 120 inch ICT, I think he is around 24.5k empty. He is looking at aluminum steel combo with a conestoga like yours. How much does your trailer weigh with the tarp system installed?

 

You tell the girl "I'll have one each of those, I heard variety is the spice of life"

 

Sitting in Beloit at the corner of the 39 and 43... done for the day...

Not sure what to think about this new technology stuff yet...

 

I will end the suspense for you. It sucks, LOL. They should have stopped with B model cats and old 15 speeds and 18 speeds. Cameras have no business facing any driver. Elogs only eff things up.

 

So I got a used Qualcomm outta another truck when they issued this Freightliner to me..

Yknow they just swap them from truck to truck...

This guy didn’t clear his inbox in the past two months so here I am reading through it...

...... I have his SSN.

 

I already got a message from safety today about following distance.

This new truck....lemme explain this ####

It’s got an adaptive cruise but it doesn’t really slow you down quick enough, especially if a four wheeler really starts hitting the brakes in front of you. Alright, so I use the service brakes instead right? Well... in the 660 if you hit the brakes with the cruise on my jakes would come on as well... not anymore!

Can’t set the cruise in here with the jakes on. So the second I touch the brakes and I’m wondering why the jakes aren’t kicking on.... d’oh.

I personally think the newer cameras are far too sensitive too.

It’s silly nonsense to me. As if their trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to driving. I can get cut off a million times by a semi doing 66... but if one four wheeler does it and decides to hit the off ramp, slows to 55 in front of me, I won’t have time to hit the brakes before the camera is sending it to Tulsa. Like WHAT?!

Adaptive cruise is fine n all. But the bloody camera now is something else I tell ya.

 

@stwik

You need the original cruise control. Either a throttle lock or a piece of wood cut to appropriate length. Throttle lock would be my choice.

 

Ride around in your boxers and everytime the camera comes on start pickin' and scratching!!
Wonder what they would do if ya' hung your hat on it??

 

@wore out

When you went from your old Demon Cleaner to the new KW for a week or so...

Did you ever catch yourself speeding more so than usual just due to how quiet the newer truck was?
