    I drove ten years without a fridge but this company i am with now included one on their truck for me and never again will I be able to drive without one. Every morning it is freshly cooked bacon and eggs without even having to leave my truck.

    The camera would start flashing a blue light, many times i would look at it and flip it off. I was not fond of it. one time i was eating a subway sammy, and was using my knee to steer, done that for many , many years. i wonder if someone was looking at me. ha ha ha

    Larger companies based out of one of the small terminals is just as good.
    I worked at Swift for nearly 14 years. I was always in the small terminals and never had the problems reported from drivers out of the larger terminals.
    Fontana and Otay Mesa in CA, Inver Grove Heights,MN and Menasha, WI.
    All very small with happy drivers and good people running them that actually treated you like family and friend.
     
    lual Thanks this.

    Great that you've got some options to look forward now it comes down to your own due diligence what kind of equipment do they have? Do they have a good workshop? does their gear look like its been well maintained? are they giving drivers good miles per week? etc, etc. Driving south of the I-40 during winter is a plus provided your getting good miles to go with it. After all when it's all said and done it comes down to what you get in your pay packet at the end of the week. :cool:
