I’m so pumped. Get to pull out the covid card to avoid a helper. God I hate them. I’d rather work until midnight everyday then be a babysitter on top of doing all the work. Get to listen to my music in peace.

So you make everything really loud and what does the driver do? He or she avoids safety items like 4 ways or lights.

Good going bozo's.

The new package cars Hazard,Turn signal, Start up and E brake warning buzzer are loader than ever before and they where loud before. Everyone in my center agrees. Some drivers have turn down a new vehicle for this reason. When delivering the entire town can hear the hazard warnings are on. Has anyone had success in lowering the warning buzzer volume? I’m ready to bring in my tools and try to find the speaker myself. BTW I know about turning the dash lights off but that only works for the headlights on warning.

Your diad board placement is a safety hazard. Write it up.

Btw. Today is a great day, I was able to muffle the all the warning noises. During lunch I was able to find the source of both hazard and start up warning noise. Feel free to PM if you need any assist in finding the source. I can now deliver my route in state of tranquility, quiet, and harmony; absence of the most annoying sound in the world. The blue box as seen in the picture is the culprit for the hazard and signal noise and took the longest to find. I’m still hearing the beeping noise.

It’s definitely not in a convenient place. Good thing that I do not have to rely on the map nav.

Good lord you guys have it cushy now days.

I lived your days and all I hear from my coworkers are how great the good old days were. The only noise problem we had was our knees cracking from the high step and shoulders popping from the rack and pinion steering.

Either way, we run out of hours so the company can shove it.

Also drivers that use a helper then are forced to work Saturday because they have hours available.

I haven't been in package for a long time but the newer Kenworth tractors can be quieted down by lowering the tilt steering all the way down, inserting a folded towel between the column and dash and raising it back up. This sounds stupid but makes a huge difference. This speaker is for collision avoidance but it might be worth a try.

Does this really work? Never heard this one. I’m going to have to try it.

It really works in the KW's, not sure about the others.

What does the towel do? The speaker is back there? And how far back to you push the towel?

Not a fan of the dash camera
where is the fan
It's nice they left the old diad holder for your phone

Still can't spare a 12V outlet I see.
Ask for a 12v plug in the central it's in the contract!

Take a phillips screwdriver and remove the instrument panel. Look to the left side and there's a 2 inch little speaker that has a tiny hole in it. That hole needs a dab of silicone.
Again.......your'e welcome. Your eardrums will thank you.

Buy them books and send them to school and they still can't figure out sheet.

I still haven’t broken the habit of looking up for the back up camera. I too appreciate the old holder being left in place. Great for cell phone, call tags and etc. As for the fan. The package car came installed with two.

The problem has been fixed. I did it today during lunch. When I typed “I’m still hearing the beep”. I wasn’t clear. It’s was from leaving the hazards on for 30 minutes while I was looking for the blue box that is the speaker. Again the problem has been rectified.
Thanks again
