    It is not illegal to run them in oregon, if it is, they sure do not enforce it on cabbage, there are times all you can see is bright flashing lights. You have no idea if they are stopped or what, I hate the friggen things myself.

    Honestly, it takes bad enough rain that I decide to park the rig for me to use my 4-ways, and even then it's only until I find a place to park. I should add, I hail from the Pacific northwest... rain is my natural habitat

    No clue. Above my pay grade. Not me in the truck, though

    Swift has had day cabs for as long as I can remember. They use them for regional deliveries it seems.

    Also if you need a loaner to make a delivery while your normal OTR rig is in the shop. That was an option I could've made use of during my shop nightmare had I known about it sooner

    Still wishing I had a faster truck, if you catch my drift. My contract will be up in February, but I'll probably wait a bit longer for a couple things on my driving record to drop off before going somewhere else. I didn't have a perfect record before going to Swift, but I had a couple clean years, so most of my teenage stupidity has finally stopped haunting me. Just gotta wait for the last couple things to exit that 3-year period most companies look at
     
    Tall Mike and FlaSwampRat Thank this.
