    For the regional guys, is FCC a 34 hour reset at home company or is it actually 2 days off?

    It can be whatever you need it to be. I have found them to be pretty flexible. I came out of the house one time, ran up to NE, picked up a purina load to CA, then bobtailed up to the Pilot in Hesperia. I picked up a rental car in Victorville and disappeared for 3 days. I tend to stay out for a month or so, taking a 34 wherever I feel like, but when I was regional, I might take JUST 34, sometimes 3 days. They will work with you, as long as you can still be productive.

    Do they have camera's that watch the driver?

    Do they have any manual transmissions in their tractors?

    Forward facing cameras only. You get a choice of manual or automatic transmission. If you read through the pages in this thread just about every question you have will be answered

    Just an FYI, if any of you need to go to the Tulsa drop yard oh, it is now in a different location. It is not the one on the west side of town we were using. We are now using a facility on East Pine Street on the east side of town oh, and there is truck restrictions nearby on that road. So if you're heading there anytime soon I suggest doing some research on it first. Really screwed up my morning LOL

    Where on Pine? Like around 129th E Ave or closer to Catoosa? Only real restriction I am aware of out that way is that steep hill just West of 193rd E Ave.
