    What? Change and realign the camera? I don't think so. Why would you do that? If it's your truck, ok, i get that. But if you're a company driver, then that should be a hard no! Who do you work for?

    The one tbing that feels different here from my last company a.k.a. Brand X is, our trucks only run 2 mph faster on cruise than theirs, but I find myself running 675-700+ per day with more time left on my drive clock here. At Brand X, the stars and planets would have to align just right, and have just the right load to run 700, and would be dangerously close to the magic 11th hour. Here, just yesterday, I ran almost 700 miles and still had 39 min left. Plus, at Brand X, after a 700 mile day, you were beat and couldn't wait to get that pillow under your head. Yesterday, ''it was ehhhh, I guess I'll go to bed now" after messing around in the truck after eating dinner.

    I don't think that every company is a junk company except mine? That's just a dumb statement to make. However, I think that most OTR companies are junk when it comes to wages, benefits and retirement. Feel free to prove me wrong.

    In this day and age there should be absolutely zero excuse for anyone in this industry to not be able to do any kind of research on a company they’re interested in potentially working for…

    I agree. However, you can research a company until your hearts content. But you are not guaranteed anything. Anything that you read on line as well as what a recruiter promises means nothing! You are an "at will employee". If you're comfortable that. carry on. Far be it me to stop you.
