Loving Averitt Great Miles

Did you have Wade as your trainer?

 

Couple questions for ya Troop.
1. Driver facing cameras, yes or no?
2. Trucks equipped with refrigerators and/or inverters?
3. What's the governor set at?

Just curious about this, I put in an app to run regional out of Richmond, VA, but haven't spoken with a recruiter yet.

 

Front facing cameras are ok by me, can't abide a driver facing camera though. Good info, thanks.

 

Do they still make you wear uniforms, cover up tattoos, have a facial hair policy and can't bring the truck home?

 

Governors are supposed to be set at 63/65 (pedal/cruise) but I have found that just about every tractor is different. the POS volvo I'm in now will only do 62/.64, whereas my old cascadia would do 64/66 (hence why I want that one back, LOL)

Cameras are being tested by Averitt's driver committee. 6 different types I believe and I think 2 of those are driver facing as well... but the general consensus is that no driver facing will be used. You can use a dashcam of your own now if you have one, but from what I'm hearing it will be a couple of years at least before they becomestandard issue in the truck. I also heard not that long ago, there is a possibility of a collision avoidance system being tested. but at this point it's nothing but heresay...

Oh and anything past 69 (in speed) can get you a qualcomm warning/ FM phone call (depending on who it is) and if you stay at a speed (above normal) for very long it will result in a violation. (personal oops, there)

 

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes, but no longer clean shaven. can have beard/goatee
4. Yes.
