    I'll tell you a couple of more deterrents for me in not slip seating.

    Getting into a truck that has dog hair all over, second hand cigarette smoke caked on the interior of the cab, nasty boogers wiped on the seats and steering wheel, potential athletes foot on floors, nasty mattress with who knows what is on it what has been wiped on the bunk area sidewalls.

    Need I say more? ;-)
     
    Studebaker Hawk and Vilhiem Thank this.

    As mentioned before, Roehl is probably your best bet.

    Clearly u either forgot what otr is like or never did it.

    My truck is clean, wash, no mechanical problem, and have all my gear and toolbox. Why would I wanna switch that up to another truck that's dirty, ac or heat not working, leaking oil and have to take a hour to transfer my stuff. I slip seat, only when local n daycabs...and clearly nobody cares about the truck

    What's the point of posting this, if you have nothing to offer roll on.

    On topic, knight or Roehl. Knight might work with you a bit, I have a friend who works very sporadically for Knight, he's attending classes to become a broker, and driving to pay the bills.
