    Those are "signing off" color bars that the TV used to get late at night

    For the ones that don't remember that, you should take the ones that do very seriously...cuz we're old and cranky!

    What would you like to know. I know a yard jockey who is currently utilizing the program, I'll ask him when I see him Tuesday.

    I remember the Averitt recruiter at my cdl school years ago promising great pay (not true) and that we'd roll around at <65 while wearing their costume everyday.

    Can't possibly be worth it. I think they even have driver facing cams.

    IMO if I have to wear your uncomfortable ugly shirt to advertise 24/7 while I'm on the road then I should get paid extra, not 10cpm less than companies that allow me to wear whatever I want to.

    No driver facing camera and the uniforms are quite comfortable.

    The 63/65mph governor is a pain at times
