A few more tidbits....
We have an onboard computer that dispatch talks to me with. Only time I hear from them is to deliver new load information, etc. LOVE IT. There is no slip-seating. The truck they issue me is mine to use until the truck reaches 500,000 miles in which they give me a brand new truck.
No hand-holding here. They give me load info, and it is up to me to pickup and deliver on time.
