Occasionally, I watch U-Tube posts where they show new trucks and all the new features. They mentioned that some companies were beginning to put drivers into these trucks as a means of retaining good drivers.
So my question... Does anyone know which companies are offering O/O spec trucks to company drivers?
LOADED COMPANY TRACTORS? Amenities?

Which features driver?
I wouldn't be expecting leather seats and refrigerators in company spec trucks anytime soon.
Reefer companies usually will give you a fridge,cause you'll starve at shippers and receivers without them.

Some have apu,s and I have seen some advertise direct tv,s with a tv in the truck, the apu I could do with but would rather have better pay than a tv.

When I was shopping for companies,I just choose them by what trucks were available.
I've driven just about everything,and the T 680 just feels like home.
Everyone of them had the table,tripac,swivel passenger seat,suspension gauge,and Apu.
The only thing hit and miss was the fridge.
I kinda like the extra storage and stocking a cooler with free ice at truck stops doesn't bother me.
I'm spoiled,never driven a 3 years old truck until now,550k,but I should be getting a new 680, sometime this year.
Love the T 680,wont drive anything else.

Rule of thumb ... The nicer the amenities are in a company truck, the more time that company expects you to spend in that truck.
