    I've been told that Swift even has a microphone in the cab. That's beyond my comprehension.
    Slime has so much electronic garbage on their trucks, it is also beyond my comprehension, I understand they even have some gizmo that alarms go off if you drift over the line of the lane you're in.
    Schneider I know has a collision warning system that is a POS cause it will activate when it senses a threatening over pass you're driving under, even though there is not a soul in sight, and slams on your brakes & jake brake momentarily practically tossing you through the windshield.
     
    McKenna Thanks this.

    It's a mega. Schneider's equipment is orange. Hence called the pumpkins. Swift is the largest truckload carrier. It's basically comparing Schneider to Swift and saying they are the same except one is orange. That's my interpretation.
