Sounds like the Freightliner tractors.Anyone drive the new Freightliner 1000's? It seems they put in some sort of acceleration delay ...
I just don't like the fact that it doesn't have the handrails in the rear. Backing up to docks without those things, if you don't remember you'll smack the back door against the ledge.
The light in the back is cool, and so is the grip on the steps. Other then that, same .

Not supposed to back against the dock.
No contact. They used to say that back when I was in Package. Hell, I think you're supposed to park a foot from the dock so you can open the OH from the outside.Are they really telling people this ?
Yes. Forever. To have room to open the door from outside. Don't you watch the videos? They show this during their monotonous training videosThose are leaf springs....
To cushion the bumper when parking on a dock.

Screw that. I get right up on the dock. If I am a foot from the dock then I am having to extend my body way outside my power zone in order to place heavy packages upon or remove them from the dock.No contact.

Not hard nowadays with a camera in the back.
I agree with you.Screw that. I get right up on the dock. If I am a foot from the dock then I am having to extend my body way outside my power zone in order to place heavy packages upon or remove them from the dock.
Yet another example of one method conflicting with another.
Too easy to get hurt by your foot slipping in the gap.I agree with you.
You asked if they were really telling people that.

That was BUG not me...I agree with you.

If you turn the gauge lights off on the newer freightliners it won't beep for the headlights when the truck is off. I just cover the little screen with an info note so i don't get blinded.Yea the loudness of the beeping is irritating, i heard if you dim the panel light switch almost all the way down its quieter.
Oops!That was BUG not me...
The noise level is damn near criminal. Try leaving your lights on at night with your flashers on and your E-Break off. For the love of god you’d think it was the end of days.Yea the loudness of the beeping is irritating, i heard if you dim the panel light switch almost all the way down its quieter.
