A little less then half of our trucks have apu's, though my truck does not. they are really nice, you can set the temp for the cab and a little diesal unit by the battery box kicks on and off when needed, keeps the batterys charged and provides a couple of ac outlets when running.

Thanks. I'll give them a call and see. I heard Boyd is a decent company to work for and I wish you luck with them. If I was to get hired on with Boyd I will let them know that they should throw you a bone. LOL

I'm a recent driving school graduate and talked to alot of differant companies and done alot of research online about differant companies and BOYD BROS sounds pretty good.Sure would appreciate any info or advice from anyone.

I wonder if sleepy t is still there his first post was in december telling us how good boyd brothers are. You would think he would keep us posted on the company after some time with them.It makes me wonder.It looks like I will be in orientation in two weeks.

Matt73 · **^ Top** #18 02.27.2008

I'm gonna give BOYD a call tomorrow and get the ball rolling paperwork,etc.The lady I talked to said I would do orientation in OH, how bout you Bengalman?

bengalman · **^ Top** #19 02.27.2008

yes in cincinnati whats funny is its the same hotel I stayed at with millis.I think I will be there 3/10/08 I had to fax my certificate from school to make sure its good enough for them because it was with a company not a school.A pre hire does not mean anything to me not untill I get the keys to my truck. Hey I might see you there I do think its a good company to work for.

bengalman · **^ Top** #20 02.27.2008
