    I doubt it unless your truck idles 24 hours a day. I haven't heard anything in over 2 years about it

    Yes, one of my pet peeves about brokered loads is the quality of data...or missing data. Or wrong address, etc. Too many cracks for data to drop into before it reaches us.

    It's probably helps!!!

    I would love to hear more about it and/or experience that rush just a few times... As an observer... No way they would entrust someone's life to me... LOL

    Thanks you Mr. MacDaddy and 5speed too for pointing out that this is where I am supposed to be at :biggrin_25514:

    I'm about to test for my Class A license up here in SE MA and Abilene Motor Express is on the short list. Assuming that I pass (the first time - Lol, as many who take the test up here in this state, do not pass the very first time), should I be contacting someone within the company to see if I could possibly get on there? One of the things that they've told us to do is to make sure that we have something lined up for once we have that license in hand, then we can be ready to go.

    The driver facing cameras thing kind of bothers me, but if they are as good to their drivers as this, and the other forum say that they are, I can deal with the trade off.

    Point being, it says Walmart generically and then that incomplete info then flows down to drivers who then believe that we can't park at "Walmart"... I used it as an example of why I don't rely on some information unless I hear about it directly...

    And even then one can get three answers.

    So I just stopped worrying about it and Drive!

    It extends your 14 to 16 but still only 11
    It's available like once a week, I think.
