IMO, it's better if you live in DFW, but we have people from all over that drive for us. If you don't live around here, when your truck goes in the shop you have to slip seat. And here's the problem, you are not assigned another truck. You're given a list of trucks on the yard that are available to be checked out. Many of them will not be road worthy. Some won't even start. You have to go through the list and try and figure out which one you can roll with. That's been the hardest part for me. If you know beforehand, you can mentally prepare for it and it won't be such a shock. I have always found a truck eventually, but it's a PITA.
If a driver comes on the yard and has a problem with the equipment and doesn't write it up, then the the shop does not know about it. The next driver will have to "deal with it." Missing lugnuts, wipers not working, no AC etc. The list goes on and on.
Many drivers complain about the shop. "The shop! The shop!" They will krinkle their brow, raise their clenched fists in anger to curse the shop and all who work in it. But when there is a problem with the truck, all the driver has to do is fill out a sheet of paper and give it to a guy. But this is too hard for most. And when there is a problem with the trailer, all we have to do is place a repair tag on it. For many it is a mountain they lack the energy to climb.
Friend, if you have eyes to see and a brain to think with, then your services are needed here.
