    That backfired on them in epic fashion..cutting pay like that never turns out good...at least they realized it...

    One caveat...on 5/2, you must clean out the truck completely as a driver will probably be in it the 2 days you are off. Some of the extra board drivers get upset if the truck is not 101% cleaned out:(

    If there's enough room for my stuff and the inside is not a garbage dump, I don't complain.

    No more slipseating for me. Got an assigned truck, 5/2.

    I agree....When I drive another drivers rig, I just ease whatever is in my way to the side and put it back and clean it out the way I find it. Butt...there are several new hires and older extraboard drivers who will write you up on the checklist and even raise cane with the terminal manger if you leave a stick of gum behind. And the managers will back him! Can't wait till they get assigned trucks:(

    Do the tractors come with satellite radios? I realize it would be completely luck of the draw as to whether or not it was actually activated.

    No. Pre 2018 tractors have built in satellite radio antennas in the sleeper roof but that's it. You want SiriusXM, it's up to you to get it.
