Was wondering what kind of amenities come in the tractors? Have a couple other companies calling back with the same pay and time home so I'm trying to get some info on what the tractors come equipped with; refrigerators, tv, satellite.
Truck amenities?

Most will not have anything more than a stereo in them. And maybe, just maybe, a CB radio. If you want a fridge, you have to buy it. A TV? You buy it. Satellite radio? You buy it. Satellite TV? You buy it. Blow up doll? You buy it.
That is MOST companies. Not all. From what I hear, Werner leaves you a blow up doll. It's generally pretty well used and will have several patches applied to leaks. 70/30 shot of getting male doll.
Not sure about Averitt.newtruckerdanslc, TruckDuo, lots of character and 3 others Thank this. -
It gets curiouser and curiouser.....
TruckDuo Thanks this. -
When the cpm is the same I guess it comes down to consistant miles and the little things.TruckDuo Thanks this. -
If I am not mistaken, I think Averitt's trucks have Thermoking APU's (and a decent size inverter)
The one thing you have to watch for is that the advertised pay rate may include a perdiem amount or the bonuses that the driver may earn IF everything goes perfect and the planets align just right. The base pay without any bonuses or perdiem might be considerable lower.Charlyb715 Thanks this. -
Think about it. If a carrier is having such a hard time keeping driver that they have to advertise satellite TV and such, do you really want to be victimized....I mean, drive for them?
Western Express advertises satellite TV in their tractors, but I wouldn't drive for them. The pay is below standard, the dispatch is less than exemplary, and they do far too much northeast region for my tastes, at least on the dry van side. Plus Western Express has drivers leaving on a daily basis. Guess that satellite TV ain't worth much, huh?
I drag a deck, so the things I look for are percentage pay (and decent rates), consistent hometime, a reliable truck, and honest dispatch. Note that I didn't list miles. Since I work for a percentage of the freight rate, I don't really want big mile loads. I prefer short and sweet freight that pays a better rate. -
