    Out of 35 drivers, 15 are teams with half of those dedicated and the others are wildcat. The rest are daycab drivers home every day/night. Then there is me. The only OTR solo driver that will be running wildcat.

    Just found out that there’s a new Volvo 860 completely lettered sitting at Volvo and is just waiting on plates. That is assigned to me.

    Idk about the rest of the main terminals but the one in Troutdale, OR has showers so that’s neat. Minimizes dealing with the truck stops a little bit.

    One of the top teams at the last company I worked at has been here since May and has given me a rundown of what’s available for driver comfort at all the terminals they’ve been to. The idea of not dealing with truckstop follies, fueling, showering and looking for parking to take a 10 is pretty cool.
