    Hello Ladies and Gentlemen
    Trying to find Information on NATIONAL CARRIERS Can't seem to find anything posted as of Jan 2016
    Their site does state that they now have KENWORTH T 680 Trucks with APU'S FRIDGES/FREEZERS AND 2500 WATT Inverters and they start at 40 cents a mile if I remember correctly?

    [​IMG]

    What are their trucks govern at?
    Anyone currently working there?
    What does the rumor mill have to say about them?
    What is the weekly mileage average reported by drivers?

    Any information would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I LOVE THOSE T 680'S

    Tried to find some info on National Carriers. Have to dig for it though. Seems like an excellent carrier if you can make it through orientation. Orientation is thorough and strict and strictly business. The company doesn't tolerate immature behavior and isn't going to be a baby sitter for any driver that's should already be an adult. Good policies seems to me. Probably be associating with drivers that don't sit around and wail constantly.

    Volvo's have been coming from the factory set with the limit as 67 on cruise, 69 on foot with the Driver's Performance Bonus set to 29% Idle time. Over that it bumps the speed down to 66.

    I thought that was a specific thing our company ordered but from what I learned a lot of fleet trucks are being delivered set up like that, though it's an easy fix to turn the limits off with the Volvo Link
