What are the differences compared to company drivers
When you are part of a company you will do what they need you to do. You do not have to make a schedule to pull the maximum of the task or of the load; there is a special team to do that for you.
As a company truck driver, you simply get your task and you doing your best to cross the finished line at the required time.
