It might be useful to have a thread that contains info about the various O/Cs. I have a Driver Resource Guide that lists all the O/Cs and a map of their location, but it tells me nothing more, such as useful info like:
showers (towels provided?):
laundry:
ice:
company loaner car:
maintenance:
fuel:
cafeteria :
Wifi:
ATM:
fitness center:
tire bank:
OSRs:
overall rating :
anything else?
I'll start off with a few that I have visited, feel free to chime in with any new info, your rating, and thoughts. You shouldn't have to wait until you pull into an O/C to discover they have no maintenance, or their washers are still busted. If anyone knows of a better resource than this, please let me know.
