    2 Questions
    1st...Are you assigned one trailer that you always stay under.
    2nd....After orientation and riding with Trainer and you get assigned a tuck. Can you request what model Peterbilt that you would like to drive. I personally like the 379s.

    As highway mentioned, no to the first question.
    On the second point, that depends. When i was released, they gave me the option of a 379 or a 388. I chose the 388, after it was assigned i found it had a camera in it and regretted my choice. Add far as choice, most times no, it really depends on the stock they have.

    That's right. It's always fun when you have to cl
    ean out all the crap the last driver leaves
    you. Not to mention the non working lights or bad tires.
