    It is indeed free. At every terminal. And they keep them clean too.

    we have the trucks, trailers and company vehicles all registered in Oklahoma. Another state that is very cheap with their registration fees.

    Unreal. Couldn’t they look at your camera before calling you?

    ####. Lots of people called in with really crazy stories when I was in the office. Half of them couldn't tell me where they were, and 90% couldn't give a truck or trailer number.

    I'm kind of ticked off on your behalf that anyone in dispatch actually called you believing that story, instead of, at most, calling and saying "hey what's up how are things" instead of just going right into accusal mode.
     
    JoeyJunk, MACK E-6, Lonesome and 2 others Thank this.

    Apparently you didn’t work in the office long enough. I’ve been told numerous times by dispatch that drivers don’t talk to each other, drivers are liars, amongst other lovely things that I won’t repost. I can see them calling and saying that instead of, hey, we’re getting calls saying xyz, are you ok, is someone else in your truck, or are you even there.
