    I can honestly say this - they truly WANT us to succeed. I have honestly never dealt with a nicer group of people, I can't express that enough. Whether its offering little tips and tricks that they have learned over the years or taking extra time to explain something in great detail these people are just top notch. Many of them have been with Schneider for a long time (and I mean a LONG time) and have been apart of being an O/O for Schneider at one point or another or have spouses that have been as well.

    That's the same impression I came away with; and I think it's true.

    Quick tip..... everything is regional. Run out as far and as long as you want to, but remember, your load home is less than 500 miles from your home.
    Gotta play hop scotch sometimes and plan well in advance.

    Make dang sure the heater works........crank that rascal up, and bask in it's intensity.

    rock on, dfo......

    one more thing.......
    If you don't like the graphics on your truck, politely ask them to remove them, and they will. No big deal....honestly.

    Prepass and ezpass are the ONLY things that don't come out of your weekly settlement. They send a bill directly to your house monthly...$15.20.

    Yeah it has a curtain that goes around he windshield and across the bunk. The windows have snap covers but I'm afraid the snaps are too strong and will tear the covers so I will just leave them on all the time anyway.

    I ran the apu for a little bit. Didn't try the ac yet but it came on after running the espar heater for a while to help keep the batteries topped off. I am going to try sleeping in the truck at least once night this week just to see if any issues pop up.

    Drive to Walmart in the dark to make sure all the lights and gauges etc worked. Seems to drive well. I want to go over coupling and uncoupling with air dump suspension maybe I can find an osr that can help me out, will ask tomorrow.

    So do u keep the ezpass account full of cash were you monitor it and add funds as needed. Or does sni monitor the funds and send u a toll bill each month on top of the normal fee of having the ez pass

    Coupling is no different u lower landing to where it barely touches the ground. Disconnect lines pull fifth wheel get in the tractor lower air bags drive out for underneath range air bags pow simple as a pie. I'd ask if u can go play with the trolly valve. That is fun
