For those that do linehaul ltl and go out for 5 to 7 days at a time, are you assigned trucks or is it random trucks every time you report to work?

I did have an assigned truck though. When it wasn't in the shop with DPF issues it ran 70 mph. I still miss it.Texas_hwy_287 Thanks this. -
most drivers do, since I'm a city p&d I'm lucky if I see the truck twice in a row.

@2BucTruck I figure all terminals operate the same way since we work for the same company. at least here in houston trucks are assigned to some city p&d drivers along with linehaul drivers.

Depends on company and terminal. Most schedule guys will drive the same truck every day. Extraboard I'm not sure. Good thing about extraboard is that more often than not you'll be the only one driving your truck throughout the week. Occasionally you'll lay down at a terminal that is short trucks and they will go snatch yours from the hotel and (hopefully) have it back to you by the time you need to be up.
