    They came along way since then. I love that there is no big ol shifter in the way anymore.

    I just got my Hireright/DAC report to add to my DOT-mandated "driver qualification file" -- was surprised to see that I had an accident while working for Con-way on 12/10/13...

    DAC.jpg


    Then I remembered:



    headlight.jpg

    Seems ###########, even as a non-preventable, but DAT says it includes any incident involving property damage (no minimum damage value). Guess I should have just paid $125 and bought a new light myself to keep it off my record: http://www.peterbiltparts.com/light...es/888-5108/?gclid=CMftz8PD9b8CFRMLMgodxQoA5Q

    Hope my new boss doesn't fire me for neglecting to report this accident on my application ;)



    Congrats! All but 10 of the 550 new trucks are automatic (the 10 exceptions being N13-powered 13-speed Prostars). All 550 are 6x4: http://www.con-way.com/en/about_con_way/newsroom/press_releases/May_2014/2014_may_28

    Notes as future potential fake excuse to get out a non comfy seat.

    ;)

    That Volvo did have hard ### leather seats.
