Default I NEED HELP FAST!

I plan to start my training with Schneider on June 21st. I'm have been selected for the Wal-mart dedicated account in Henderson, NC. I've recently read some forums and found out that this account has a slip seat policy. Can any one tell me how slip seating is? Do you think that I should do OTR or flatbed? I really don't like the slip seating policy because I might be responsible for someone elses mess and I have a problem with sharing a sleeper because you don't know what they have been doing on the sleeper. PLEASE HELP! You can email me at [email protected] or write back here. Thanks in advance.

The only time I had to do a slipseat was in a daycab Volvo. Slipseating a daycab was bad enough, but I couldn't imagine how bad it would be with a sleeper. The guy left his garbage in the truck and I got the write up for it cause I refused to clean it out.

The beauty of a digital camera can cover yer arse in a slip seating situation. No doubt, it is a hassle so you must weigh what advantages you are gaining from running on the slip seat account and do they out weigh the negatives.
