    They are not being put in all trucks. They are being installed in trainers trucka or trucks that have drivers that have had issues. They were thinking of putting ythem in in all trucks but it is not cost effective. Your class, if everyone got a cam, just happened to get trucks when they werr in the all-truck mode.

    yes, everybody in our class got truck with them. I tried to get them to give me one of the older 13 speeds they had but they didn't go for it.

    I honestly loved it. I did very very well there. After 12 months I was asked to be on the John Deere Specialized division which I took and did for 15 months before I decided to take a local job offer which is great but like it is said, Truckin get into your blood and what I do now is driving a concrete truck around Chicago so I don't really consider this trucking.

    I worked for them a couple times on the Maxi fleet which is run a little different than the Semi fleet. I have a friend that is currently running 48 states for them and he's running his butt off. Trucks are all 4 years old or newer. You wouldn't have to go to Canada on the semi fleet and can choose to run 11 Western or 48 states or a mix of both. You'll tarp most every load. They are 100% E-logs using PeopleNet. If your not use to elogs that will take some getting use to but they are getting pretty good at dispatching with them to maximize your time. They gotta keep those new trucks running to get them paid for. The people in the office are all good folks that try hard to make your experience positive by balancing home time and your earnings. They are like any company it's a lot of what you make of it. They can run your butt off if you can be efficient, tarp fast, and maximize your time. I left there a month ago because I found a local job that works better for me and my family. I had a good experience with them while I was there.

    I was doing 11 western with Roehl until I found a local job in December last year delivering and stocking drywall products for winroc. it worked out fine there until we got a new manager that had us doing runs that were 230 miles one way leaving at 3am and refusing to pay for motel forcing us to drive back after stocking all day and getting back at 11pm or midnight. trucks had NO ac and the heater barely worked, fuel lines were constantly blowing out. I finally got fed up with them and was set to go pull refer for knight when I got a call to run belly dump and end dump. that's ok but we work out of town and the employer doesn't pay for motel or gas in my pickup and they don't provide transportation (that's why I have to use my pickup). I've been with them 2 weeks and already I've been waiting for the next job for 3 days.

    With Central Oregon, Canada is only mandatory with the quad fleet. I'll be heading to orientation here in a couple of weeks to join the quad fleet over there. Recruiters have been very honest and upfront with me and helpful with all questions that I've had. Never skateboarded before but I am excited about the opportunity. And yes, I am prepared to tarp.
     
    The Challenger and jomar68 Thank this.
