    "Mr. Attitude" has forgotten one important thing ( perhaps due to ignorance, or lack of research)... MOST TRUCKS WITH APUS CANNOT IDLE. My truck has an APU, however, I can idle my truck.
    What he does not realize, is that an APU will not properly heat or cool a truck, once the temperature becomes too high, or too low. I was in Coachella,CA two summers ago, and the temperature was 113 degrees, and guess what? I HAD TO IDLE THE TRUCK IN ORDER TO KEEP FROM BURNING UP! I was in Lewiston,ME, a couple of winters ago; the temperature was -25 degrees. A driver had an APU, and his truck would not idle. He caught the devil trying to get his truck started. Better yet, what if the APU breaks down, in a non idling truck? But hey! He probably has got it figured out already.

    Aight Im done with this thread. Im sick of people cutting down companies they know nothing about. Everyone has to start somewhere. You stuck up snobs (being nice) seem to forget you were new at one time. Ive been here for a year now... Im not suffering. But you people have no concept so... Whatever. Bye

    some of us are NOT cutting down the companies, but rather "Mr. Attitude's" attitude of thinking he deserves or will get a peach of a job with all of the perks and live a happy carefree life. he hasn't met reality yet.

    Gizmo_Man does not waste his time, especially when all his chores and housework are done and he is relaxing till the tv has something good on. in fact, i just enjoyed a wonderful nap.

    one which i am afforded by having worked many years in this industry, paying my dues, and accepting what the companies have/had to offer, without being a "Mr.Attitude".

    Driver, no one is berating PRIME. Perhaps PRIME is a good fit for you. However, it is rather droll that you want to extol the virtues of PRIME. Then again that is your business. You would be well served to heed some of the advice you are getting from some of the drivers. In closing, remember this: MOST EXPERIENCED DRIVERS WOULD RATHER GET A PROSTATE EXAM ADMINISTERED BY FREDDY KRUEGER, THAN DRIVE FOR PRIME. LMAOU! Now key up on that if you want to.
