Yeah, I see what you're saying, $390 is no joke lol, I don't have a car and even when I park in Fort Pierce, which is closer to the house, my sister come and pick me up, so having her drive 2hr to Winter Haven to pick me up and drop me off won't be fun lol. Like I said before, regarding the dropping tank stuff, I just don't want to hunt for parking after going on a shopping spree in Walmart, I'd hate to be the guys that park on the ramps and stuff. Btw you guys don't have In-Cab cameras in your truck don't you?

 

We have a drop and hook customer in Ft. Pierce, not sure if you can leave your tractor there or not. At the very least you may be able to leave the tank there and find bobtail only parking cheaper. You could also leave the tank in Winter Haven and bobtail home, but you would have to see if they will allow that. I know a driver that lived in Vero Beach which did exactly that, but that was a closer distance.

I have a forward facing camera in my truck. Older trucks didn't have any cameras at all and I don't know if the latest new trucks have cameras.

 

You don't gotta tell me twice!!

 

I can leave the tank at that customer for 4-5 days? If would be good if I could bobtail from Winter Haven to Port Saint Lucie though, I would get a cheaper parking.

I have no problem with cameras outside the trucks, but when they have them inside the trucks, that's where my problem lies, that's the number one reason why I'm not staying with my current company, it feels like an invasion of privacy to me.

I don't know for sure about that customer, you would have to ask. The better deal would be dropping the tank at Winter Haven. Best talk to a recruiter or someone with more info regarding bobtailing home from Winter Haven. My feeling is that it would be ok, but I don't know if there would be an issue.

I do know that there was a rule that if you lived within 90 miles of a terminal, the tractor had to be parked there, but I don't think that was enforced as I have seen IRT tractors parked in neighborhoods 10-15 miles away.

The camera is *in* the truck, but is forward facing. It doesn't have a rear lense pointing inward. No clue if it records audio. If someone wants to listen to me singing, that's their problem, not mine.

 

Yeah my company have a policy like that too, but they don't really enforce it either, well, thanks guys, you and @Tanker_82, I'm waiting for my one year anniversary to get the hell out of here lol, and come join you guys, hopefully I get in.

 

Why not? I used to run spring water from Tower City to Sunbury 5 days per week. I went through Pillow which is pretty much the way to get to Klingerstown, and the roads aren't that bad.
