At our place drivers dodge the new trucks because they have cameras in themWe do it by seniority at my terminal.
However, my automatic straight truck (real automatic-allison) got "taken away" from me when i was doing city because, supposedly, one of the newer guys had problems with manual trans. (how did he get a cdl?).
When i first did road, i got one of the newest tractors in the fleet with only 4,800 on the clock. At this time, i was the lowest driver on the road board. But this got taken away by someone with higher seniority after a few months. i believe the truck now has 30,000 miles on it?
We had guys apply here and it stated on their cdl (auto only) . From my understanding now if you do your test in an auto that's whats going to be put on your cdl. At my company you would need 15++++ years to even get close to an autoWe do it by seniority at my terminal.
