Rarely will a company let you choose your truck, and pretty much never if you're new to the company. If you've been at a company for quite a while and you've proven yourself to be quite valuable they might give you some options. But normally they hand you a set of keys and that's what you get.
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

I'm looking into going to Jim Palmer Trucking and was wondering if they let you choose your truck? They offer either Peterbilt 579 or Freightliner Cascadia's. I'd prefer to get a Peterbilt since it built a little larger in the sleeper cabin and has a wider size bed. I'm a large guy so this would be a more comfortable truck for me. Do companies usually let you choose which one you want or is it usually this is what you get?
