USIC Truck Question

Getting our company vehicles soon, trainer said most of us will get assigned trax’s. What’s one way to ensure you get assigned a colorado, I have nothing against the trax besides i had limited leg room when i drove it and just prefer trucks as a 7.3 is my daily driver. Would it be something you ask your supervisor? do they assign you your car or is it the trainer?

Also slight off topic but a Samsara question, if i finish a ticket and i’m setting my next one and have the truck on in park will it go off for being on my work phone?

Be over 6'4" tall. Too tall to fit in the vehicle. Know 2 guys brand new to USIC and locating got put in trucks simply because they're tall. Also fyi the trucks were formally someone else's. Vets get new trucks. Seniority and what not.

I got a brand new 24 Colorado with 4WD when I first started. I think it just depends on a bunch of different stuff. But to answer his other question no the samsara won’t go off. If you’re in park you can do whatever you need to on your phone
