When I drive, I throw myself into it. The truck is, quite literally, my home. I only require home time 1x/year, and that's for a family reunion (2 days during the first weekend of June, perhaps a little less).
As such, equipment I am comfortable in is the primary factor when it comes to selecting a company.
What I'm looking for is:
- APU
- Ability to install an inverter (if one is not already on the truck, of course)
- Nannycam is okay, but NO AUDIO RECORDING (dispatch doesn't need to hear my griping)
- Satellite radio is a huge plus, but I'm capable of providing my own.
- Refrigerator/microwave so eating doesn't break my wallet. A righteous refrigerator, not an electric cooler. I'm flexible on the microwave, I could use the DC-powered lunchbox oven they sell in truck stops for $30.
- No grief about my annual home time, and ability to drive the truck bobtail during that time (reasonable mileage, of course, just around a small town)
If I can find a company that has driver-friendly equipment, the paycheck is far and away a secondary factor.
If anyone has any suggestions/recommendations, please post or PM me.
