Hunt Day Cabs and Local Work Questions

Are the day cabs set up differently from the OTR/Regional cabs as far as speed, safety devices, etc?

Do they actually pay what they say they will pay for local company driver work?

What does insurance cost, and is it possible to opt out?

Any other comments/suggestions about working local for JB?

 

I want local because I dislike the constant sitting of OTR. I like exploring but not on a relentless schedule. Bad enough sitting here all day applying right now.

This is in another state. AZ prospects and responses have been disappointing me.

This is drop and hook 53' shuttle, no touch, same thing every day. Which is a little boring but I need a steady check, the run is a few hours then I get out. I'm fine with the DD13 but the auto that goes with those will be disappointing.

I delivered and installed appliances for a hardware store out of high school, back when the old ones were heavy steel monsters that had just blown a fuse but they wanted to sell a new one. Enough of that. Along with cutting/threading pipe, unloading Sakrete flatbeds, assembling mowers, fixing screens and windows. That last mile I'd be really good at but I won't touch it.

Thank you, I did in fact start there and she was helpful but the particular position I'm interested in is a local shuttle so with day cabs and other posts I've read have differing info on those cabs.

In general I'm a bit shy about dealing with another big corp, know too much about the other side of the desk.
