    Howdy! I have some questions about driving for a trucking company out of Canton, Michigan called A.D. Transport Express. I've been searching online trying to find out everything I can about this company but there is surprisingly very little.

    1 ) Will I be required to drive through and/ or deliver to NYC and/ or Long Island? Can I refuse without penalty?
    2 ) Will I mostly or only drive east of I-65?
    3 ) Will I be required to hand load, hand unload, build or breakdown pallets (including pallet jacking)?
    4 ) Do I need a HazMat endorsement?
    5 ) Can I park my personal vehicle at their terminal while I am out?
    6 ) Do I control my logbook or does the company tell me when to drive?
    7 ) Will I have to pay for tolls and scales then wait to see if I get reimbursed?
    8 ) Are their trucks equipped with working refrigerator/ freezers, hotplate/ microwaves and invertors/ APUs? (Not a deal breaker - just would like to know.)
    9 ) Do they run their drivers enough that they have to do a 34 hour restart every week or do they short driver miles so that they have to recap while they're out? (I usually run for many weeks at a time before taking any time at home.)
    10) What is their average length of haul?
    11) Do they routinely run coast to coast and border to border loads?
    12) What speed are their trucks governed?

    Thank you in advance for your answers. If you can provide a way for me to independently verify your answers and/ or links to more in depth information about A.D. Transport Express in Canton, Michigan that would be great.
