Extra Door Security

Is this a serious problem? GEESH!

Had no clue.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if it's a huge problem but it doesnt hurt to take precautions. My company has some Volvos and a trainer told me you can unlock any volvo with a key out of another volvo. I'm not sure if that's just for our company but the way he was talking was I could even unlock a swift truck if it was a volvo.

Same with Freightliner, I hear they only have like 8 different keys. During my first week when I locked myself out of my truck, my DBL asked me to ask another driver who had a Freightliner if I could try his key since sometimes it works but his key didn't.

All of Wolding’s truck are key exactly the same. I have heard that our keys will unlock earlier Cascadias.

I don't know if this is a separate thread or if it fits in here, but where is a good place to keep a spare hide out key?

I ziptie one under the hood. Put it where you can get it, but it doesn't stand out to someone looking.

On my old truck I had one a little below the panel for the DEF/batteries. Easy to get to but you would have to really look to notice it was down there. I have it in another area now on my new truck.

Basically anywhere is good, just don't make it super obvious.

Dover Driver told me to run a rope up to the horn and both doors. someome tries to open and BLLllllllleeeeeeaaaaapppp!

Sounds great... until you get up in a hurry, (still 1/2 asleep) and forget you have done so! If that does ever happen, I hope your driver-facing camera is running and you are willing to share it!

(If you are NOT wearing undies when that happens you may very well regret it!).

Just sayin'!

I lived in my car prior to moving into my truck and slept in a dicy part of town w/ a lot of foot traffic and I was CERTAIN 1000% that me/my car would be messed with since it stuck out like a sore thumb. It's brand new, and I had an unlimited car wash across the street from where I parked, so I washed it every day. I figured if my car was clean, security, wreckers, law enforcement wouldn't bother me since I was parked under a No Parking sign for 6 months.

The only thing I ever heard anyone say was "That's a hybrid? That's nice". No tugging on my doors or anything. Would wake up w/ people asleep around the car, but the car was never messed with.

Point is, I hadn't even thought about taking precautions in this truck since my time in my little hybrid was so uneventful given the neighborhood.

I do like the 2" ratchet from door to door idea along w/ the line to the horn. That's a really good one!

you dont know me.very well. my Mom just asked me "what if you are naked in your truck and it catches on fire?"

I responded, "Im grabbing Goofball (my cat) and my purse and running."

She was horrified. I said, "If the choice is burn or be embarrassed, then ill be embarrassed. Some guys will think I am hot and try to save the truck for me. Others will be desperate, sexless and hopeful and try to save the truck. Others will die of a heart attack from fear of the site of me. Therefore i have a pretty good chance of saving the truck!"

She is 80 yrs old and a little prudish.
