    So how many trucks do you guys have to live in? About how many a month? How old how new? Preferably at the Sutherland DC

    you will start off as a extra driver. you may slip seat 1 truck a week or maybe more. then as time goes on you can bid on a job posting. all jobs are 4 nights and 5 day week. except day cab or a 6/3 or if you work a 6 day. most trucks are 2017 or newer. 6023 does have some rust buckets tho. running out of 6023 you will see 95 and up
     
    CT-Driver860 and 06driver Thank this.

    Depends if you are on a program or not. If you are, then 1 or 2 trucks a month.

    Thanks that no problem I’m from up north NJ and NY are second nature and then MD and VA are right behind them! I just was wondering because certain parts you do see the rust buckets but all day in VA (which I wouldn’t rely on) I saw several decent trucks from the outside

    Ok that’s not bad at all the recruiter made it seem like a ton of more drivers than trucks I’m sure there is but he made it seem like I would never see the same truck (or either I took it that way). But either way It would be hard for a driver to get comfortable

    When you start out, hopefully, youll see the same truck at least all week long. once you get on a program, whicg doesnt take long at all, you'll see most likely see the same 2 trucks the duration of which you stay on that program. Or if you get lucky enough to get on a program with just 1 truck, you'll see that truck only week after week.

    No and if it is get it fixed.

    While it has annoying habits on guard does not constantly beep unless you are screwing up.

    We disabled lane control. Pnet can and should be muted while in motion.

    Can't think of any other beep or buzzer we have.

    The on guard is another thing I’m use to lol but if you hear it all day tell that driver to back off whoever’s ### or to slow down!! I’ve mastered tuning it out but that lane departure crap is A-NNOYING!!!

    We do not have it after several Regional Transportation Managers were forced to ride with drivers equipped with it for a day.

    :D
