I dunno, Chris. You want us to list all the names of these things? You'll do better if you ask Google.

If you want to know how a particular item is, say a Pelican dash cam, someone here could add in their opinion.

I am not aware of any NFI drivers on here. Are you considering them as an employer? If so, those questions are not typical of the usual selection criteria.

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

TT NFI Company info

This is a bit late but the recruiter for NFI that I talked to last week stated that they have Mack trucks that are automatics in Elizabeth, NJ even though I just did a road test in an International day cab w/ manual transmission in Newark, NJ.

NFI leases their equipment every 2 years so equipment will vary depending on which division you work with. Their regional/OTR division will most likely have different kinds of sleeper trucks.

I've been told that NFI uses driver facing cameras in their day cabs.

Regional:

Regional Route

Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

Day Cab:

A tractor which does not have a sleeper berth attached to it. Normally used for local routes where drivers go home every night.

I frequently see NFI equipment. When it comes to truck manufacturers, they have a fair representation of everything. I have seen numerous Cascadia day cabs throughout the North East.
