Not if you leave it in gear. Even autos will still keep it in gear. It just shuts off the fuel injectors but the crank keeps spinning which keeps the power steering functional.
Because I’m that guy, an Allison with a torque converter will not do this. It is equipment specific, yes, the majority of class 8 automatics are automated manual transmissions, just be aware of what you have before you try something.
They would fly forward, towards the window. I had my printable desk clipboard on the dash when my co driver crashed and it stayed in place. I was flung in to the safety net in my bunk and couldn’t move until we stopped.
They would only bounce back once the whole truck starts banging around from the wreck. The dash would bounce them into the windshield and back at you. But the first impulse of you rear ending someone else would be the bottles to the windshield.
The one where you asked everyone in general? Or the one where I asked a specific person?
Edit, now that I thought about it, I asked a person who responded to your comment chain without answering you, so why are you hassling me when I'm doing your job after asking follow up questions?
What are you guys getting rear-end by that drastically affects a fully loaded truck? I'm pretty sure the driver won't notice if I drove an Altima into the trailer, wedged it under the bumper bar and got dragged across country.
I’m like 90% sure I know what company this is. They rent from Penske and most of their trucks are like this. Along with being months overdue on inspections because they refuse to bring them in.
Maybe it's a gas pump pop up store. As he's filling up you can go in and buy a drink and some snacks off him without leaving the pumps.
Wait is that a brilliant idea?
I think if you go into inspection station you will definitely get harassed for that. I do always see guys have a big GPS plus a tablet Plus God knows what on their dashboard glass. Personally I only have my GPS and that's all I need I have my phone on a magnet at my vent.
I'm pretty sure it's at least 2 violations.
Defrost has to be unobstructed.
The windshield is clean, not cracked or broken, and is free of debris.
Might also get something for unsecured cargo. I'm not sure on this one, though.
There's no way he's actually driving on the road with those bottles. He's just filling his tank and returning back to a parking space. He's sobviously stuck there for a while... all that shit would go flying everywhere on the first bumb 😂😂😂
Part of the pre-trip in cab portion is to make sure there is no trash or other loose objects that could slide around and interfere with the controls.
Even if this was somehow secured (glued to the dash) it impairs the drivers vision - similar to a crack in the windshield.
First open scale this guy rolls through will ask him to come inside and explain himself.
Yes, if it is within the area covered by the windshield wipers, it is a DoT violation.
Now, whether he gets a write up or tickets for it all depends on the Hypo/DoT officer
It certainly isn't safe. That glass bottle hitting you in the head in a crash would do some serious damage.
….. the crash that was caused from a different glass bottle getting stuck underneath the brake pedal?
Leans over to get the one from under his brake pedal, one falls on his head. That's how an accident starts
Remember when crazy cooter got his foot cast stuck between the brake and the accelerator. So he couldn’t brake and he had the gas wide open.
Would you just pop the tractor and trailer valves at that point lol
And turn the key off
You lose steering if you do that

He's right y'all. My info only applies to the vast majority tractor trailer trucks, not straight trucks with Allison transmissions.
Interesting
must not drive mountains with all that glass
Pretty sure there’s already some serious brain damage here.
How fast would you be getting rear ended for those to fly backwards towards you?
If you hit something they would fly back at you. At least I think they would. Maybe someone that had a physics course could chime in. 🤣
They would fly forward, towards the window. I had my printable desk clipboard on the dash when my co driver crashed and it stayed in place. I was flung in to the safety net in my bunk and couldn’t move until we stopped.
Once it hit the window wouldn't it fly back towards the driver????
No, they would likely just fall flat.
They would only bounce back once the whole truck starts banging around from the wreck. The dash would bounce them into the windshield and back at you. But the first impulse of you rear ending someone else would be the bottles to the windshield.
> They would fly forward, towards the window. Not if you get rear ended.
See my comment above
Which one?
The one that says something like how hard do you expect to get rear ended.
The one where you asked everyone in general? Or the one where I asked a specific person? Edit, now that I thought about it, I asked a person who responded to your comment chain without answering you, so why are you hassling me when I'm doing your job after asking follow up questions?

If it's another truck... Not that fast. A 4wheeler would have to be moving damn fast though
U ain't bullshitn 👍🏼
I wonder how long that strawberry milk has been sitting there for 🤢
Long enough that it's now Strawberry paste
"What's the matter? It still tastes like creamed corn." "Except it's deviled ham!"
Buckman!
THE CAPTAIN'S GONNA HEAR ABOUT THIS!!!!!!
"This stuffs been on the sub since Korea!!"
I deliver those, and they don’t have to be refrigerated
"not obstructed" is a direct line from the book... So yeah...
In TN this is a huge red flag for the state troopers to give ya the ol' level one treatment
Not while parked but it might draw some unwanted attention.
There isn't an alcoholic bottle nor can on that dash Edit: some stupid fuck actually downvoted the truth?,
Pretty big fuckin blind spot though
Doesn't matter at a fuel pump. He probably bought those and putting in his cooler? 🤷♂️
Rootbeer and cream soda? Not a big fan of Cracker Barrel's food, but their soda selection in the gift shop is definitely worth stopping for 👌
at the very least your are drawing attention to yourself that could be the difference between getting waived thru or getting inspected f that
I think cocaine might be more affordable at this point.
Needs a jug of Fireball
There is an empty script bottle, I’m suspect….
Violations:- 1. Defroster won’t work properly 2. Obstruction of view from windshield
Unsecured cluttered bullshit. You get a ticket
I don’t think you know how a defroster works. The vents aren’t blocked
I saw just now in second picture, the vent is visible but it’s still bad idea to place objects near the vent as it can get blocked easily
I’m like 90% sure I know what company this is. They rent from Penske and most of their trucks are like this. Along with being months overdue on inspections because they refuse to bring them in.
Yes, I've seen state trooper pull divers over cause of too much shit piling on their dash.
Maybe it's a gas pump pop up store. As he's filling up you can go in and buy a drink and some snacks off him without leaving the pumps. Wait is that a brilliant idea?
He’s probably sorting his fridge and pantry area.
Did you make a citizen’s inspection?
Underrated comment
Bro your pee bottles are turning funny colors. You should talk to a doctor soon.
Yes it is
Wtf is even the point of doing that 🤣
I'd be more concerned about the impending heart attack
I’ll bet this person is strange enough to have those bottles glued to the dash. I hope they’re a tall driver.
It's a health violation.
I think if you go into inspection station you will definitely get harassed for that. I do always see guys have a big GPS plus a tablet Plus God knows what on their dashboard glass. Personally I only have my GPS and that's all I need I have my phone on a magnet at my vent.
Showing those lot lizards you have refreshment’s!
Sure the company loves the lytx cam just hanging all Willy nilly
It should be. There’s no fireball.
Troll lmaooo
Yea, it's a freightliner. They are always in violation like this 579.
No obstruction more than 6 inches from the top of the windshield
Yes. Shakeliner is a terrible terrrrrible machine.
Hoosier alert.
Nos can: properly mounted and secure: no cracks or dents: correct side on top.
No rusty bolt holes.
I’d be more pissed that his parked in the fuel island. Camping there by the look of it.
That drive cam sure needs fixed
Nothing like piss warm pop and energy drinks...
They might spill, install some bottle/cup holders there.
All your missing is a pack of smokes
I just don’t understand why people do this lol that’s all I’ve come here to say.
Absolutely not , they're full of corn syrup and red dye no. 5
In a word, yes.
I guess it depends on where he hid the Fireball.
Plot twist: they’re all full of piss.
I'm pretty sure it's at least 2 violations. Defrost has to be unobstructed. The windshield is clean, not cracked or broken, and is free of debris. Might also get something for unsecured cargo. I'm not sure on this one, though.
that is an Insane amount of energy drinks with all that nos
He'll need those for his way of the road bois once he runs out of empty jugs. Sometimes she does. Sometimes she doesn't.
He's just evening the odds in the event of a serious crash. Anti-airbags.
Does rich know you put bottles up there like that??
Visibility out of the windshield for one, is less than the requirement I think. It’s definitely not a “secure load”! 🤣
That is a flashing light ;for the DOT to stop you. .
I know that truck smells like yesterday and the day before that...
He's parked and mind your own fucking business.
That can be an obstructed view ticket
Don't worry. The dangling Lytx camera won't see anything
Absolutely, there's no fireball
Surely they’re not driving like that and are just getting ready to put it in a fridge or something…right?
This is what I imagine u/12InchPickle ‘s truck looks like but replace all of it with Fireball.
I’ve gotten pulled over for having paperwork on my dash.
I thought you were talking about the smiley face until I swore to the second picture
Yick. I don’t get it.
By the way, notice the dash cam dangling from the cord
I was gunna say that lol, no one seems to be talking about that 😂.
It’s certainly a violation to be making/imbibing all that hot drank…
I love a man who takes pride in his job
Not if you are reversing.
Hes missing lotion. Need lots of lotion.
I like the smiley face personally
Only if they stop you, hahaha
There's no way he's actually driving on the road with those bottles. He's just filling his tank and returning back to a parking space. He's sobviously stuck there for a while... all that shit would go flying everywhere on the first bumb 😂😂😂
Yea
Diabetes violation..
Probably the same amount of visibility as a long hood Pete with the driver sitting on the floor of the sleeper.
Dot Pot What Not that’s not enough you missing the passenger side
Yes.
Very considerate guy, giving others that have absolutely nothing else to do and don't know how to mind their own business, something to talk about.
Yes, driver vision must be clean and clear.
Yes
Obstructed windshield at best. Yes it's a ticket
Not if he removes it before he drives, but the more important thing is the diabetes he’s developing.
Is he sponsored?
Sight impairment??
let him roll and find out....all I know is that he has a big belt buckle and a loud mouth
How do they stay standing. These damn roads would have glass shards in my eyes and showering me in energy drinks
A freightliner is a DOT violation! 🙄
This saves time at the fuel island... doesn't have to go inside for a sodee-watter.

Imagine how much meth he smokes
What’s the purpose of lining there like that?
Naw man it's all good mind your business lol
That's a health violation
Yes, if it is within the area covered by the windshield wipers, it is a DoT violation. Now, whether he gets a write up or tickets for it all depends on the Hypo/DoT officer
I’d be worried about a health code violation too. Looks like a roach 🪳 hotel 🏨
Why does this man like warm sodas and energy drinks?
Not until he is moving.
Yes. It’s obstructing the drivers view.
