Holland Enterprises recently signed a deal with in-cab sattelite TV provider, EpicVue, to install satellite TVs in 80% of it’s 220 truck fleet.
The Vice President of the North Dakota-based carrier, Brad Schemel, had this to say about the recent installations:
“As a 48-state, long haul trucking company with an average length of haul of 1,550 miles, we need to recruit and retain drivers who are willing to be on the road 14 to 21 days at a time,. EpicVue is one part of the package we offer that sets us apart from our competition and allows us to bring in new drivers and grow our fleet.”
Satellite TV gives them the option of sitting in the comfort of their truck and doing things there that they may otherwise do inside a truck stop. It gives them the flexibility of watching what they want, when they want. It’s a definite creature comfort for drivers and provides a greater level of satisfaction with the job.”
The EpicVue systems come with 24-inch flat screen TVs with over 100 channels, including several premium channels such as HBO and Showtime. Several sports packages like the NFL Sunday Ticket are available as well.
