i would recommend sending it to the local Freightliner dealer, as Detroit is a part of the same company.  they would be the best for the situation

One idea, just to keep drivers informed, would be to send out an in service PM...like you did for 19001 being OOS. This is more work though...just an idea.

I considered the idea, I just didnt get around to it that time. I'll send them out for both out of service and in service from here on out.
