Commercial Operator Drivers of all Legal Ages

If you've encountered this situation once, you should be able to prepare yourself for the next time it happens. Use a little of that Class A ingenuity, and put some tools and parts in your kit....

Any inaction on you part could be construed as acceptance of a lousy situation.

Great suggestion, however I am driving the Boss personal Tractor, and he wants to order a Knob.

@Saegespaene Said

Unless that cab is equipped with A/C, I'd be telling the Boss he can put up with the nuisance himself, until the replacement handle and/or knob is installed.

If you're forced to drive that tractor, bring your own handle, and change it out. Replace it with the old one, when you're back at the barn.

I had my heavy-vehicle licence suspended, for LIFE!
I was hauling scrap-metal, and a mob of young hoods thought they'd have some fun, so they kept harassing me on the road, cutting me off repeatedly, sitting in front of me unmoving through green lights, generally being idiots and putting their lives, and others, at risk
.
I finally lost it, and saw them pull into a house and park across the front, parallel to the road. I swung my rig into the fence, and rolled their precious hotted-up, fancy-painted w**k-mobile up on to the front verandah of the house. They weren't in it, though I'm NOT sure that would have stopped me, lol.
By the time I had backed out and removed the remains of the fence the police had arrived. I was really going to cop it in court, I was looking at a custodial sentence, but the event had made the media, and a large number of people contacted my lawyer, then stood in court and gave graphic descriptions of their dangerous shennanigans prior to my own stupidity.
It helped, and I walked free, a large fine and the loss of my HVL, that hurt but I had no-one to blame but myself there.
Unfortunately, because I had been so dumb during work hours in a work vehicle, the Judge made it permanent, but I got my other licences back in due course.
And the cherry on top, for ME, was that because of all the witnesses, they had NO insurance cover, it was revoked for their own criminal behaviour. They tried to sue me for the money, so I and a few mates paid them a visit, and we reached a "settlement", it may not have satisfied everyone, lol, but it sure as Hell made ME happy!

They didn't say what they thought, they appeared to be asleep, lol!
