So what will companies do in the coming years to get more productivity out of their trucks, and how much of it will come at the expense of the driver?

Mama Said They’ll Be Days Like ThisPosted on 8 June 2010 @ 7:40 am During the two hours spent awaiting the arrival of the tow truck, I once again questioned whether I was cut out for this.
