First one went into service yesterday. I got to check out inside and out, many cool features we spec'd. Hope they are good rigs!

R1 whats the Front axle lock for if not parking?
Also this may have already been asked but is that really a manual PRV?

I believe it can be used for parking as a secondary brake. The 98' Smeals had them, the ALFs did not.
I also think the PRV is manual. The Macks had them, a PRV with spring.
I know we went less tech and back to mechanical on a bunch of things. I haven't got to look closely at the Ferraras yet, just saw on runs with them. I will inquire.

I was also impressed in how quiet the Cummins diesel runs.

I just did that two days ago. Rookie cleaned the inside and switched off the lights. I hit the master but everything else was off.
