    I've gotten to like them a lot more than manuals. They're easier to drive (for me) and easier on my joints.

    Start floating and you won’t have any issues with joint pain

    They are pretty close but I saw one of their trucks at the truck stop one day and the smell almost knocked me over.

    Thanks, they might be an option. Don't like the whole uniform thing, but maybe I can deal with it if everything else is good.

    Nope, no restrictions, just my preference.

    Let's just say that we all know you have a VERY big aversion of them and will not turn people towards them. :) (Plus, I'm only teasing anyway...) :p

    But in this case, it's close to the driver, so much less commute time.

    OP... As for the uniforms... You get used to them. I came from a military background, so putting Averitt red on was no big deal. They pay 150.00 each year as an allowance, so it's not all that bad, and it saves my clothes from getting all messed up. Yes, I am (still) with Averitt

    and NO. (moderators), I am not trying to recruit, just pointing out some things.
