I have only been here a few months but back what @JohnBoy said... This company seems to take care of the drivers in the cabs... From awesome trucks with fridges to inverters to idling policy... I HATE a hot cab in the summer months and I will be so glad they let us idle. This is our home on the road and A/C is needed to keep drivers happy and rolling.
I too thought it strange about no APUs but the bunk heaters work great in cool/cold weather and being able to idle in summer makes APUs unnecessary in the Big Green Trucks.

And I do want to get home safely too, so if a camera watching me helps me stay focused on safe driving then that's a win for me too.
I still don't care for the idea in general but if you are a safe driver and doing a good job, which is what we are hired to do, then it's not a problem.
But I do toss my ball cap over the camera when I am not driving or otherwise on duty. I'll let them watch me for all 11/14 hours but once I am off duty.... The cab becomes my home.
Besides, no one wants to see me in my Spider-Man pajamas with the footies in them while watching My Little Pony. {blush}tractorman1970 and WalterSobchak Thank this. -

I read on here somewhere Abilene goes into NYC. How often does that generally happen and how big of a pain in the butt is it?
I have made picks/drops in cities like Chicago, Baltimore, Philly, etc without much stress. My tightest maneuvering has actually been in a few small towns in PA with shippers/receivers in the most inconvenient places I can imagine with only inches to spare on turns. -
We go quite a bit. One of our biggest customers is in Brooklyn. That being said, you'll get your occasional run up there, not on a steady diet though.
WalterSobchak Thanks this. -
there is just more of it
I mean what could be so bad when it is the city of John Boy birthWalterSobchak and JohnBoy Thank this. -
I've never been to NYC, only made it as far as Jersey City. But I used to run Chicago almost daily, I never had any problems that I couldn't solve. And many will tell you Chicago is as bad, or worse.
MidWest_MacDaddy, JohnBoy and Cranky Yankee Thank this. -
JohnBoy Thanks this.
