I started right out of school and enjoy it. The pay is decent for a new student....35cpm w/o hazmat....36cpm w/hazmat....+.04cpm if you pull a placarded load.

I start with TA this coming Wednesday.Can't wait! I hear nothing but good things!
-
Does TA have APU units? Thanks!
-
They do not have APU's but they do have EPU's in some trucks. All the trucks have bunk heaters. You can idle the truck when its over 80 degrees or under 30 degrees outside. You can also have a 1500 watt inverter installed by them if you want.

what is an EPU ???
-
Electric Power Unit. Basically its a ac/heat unit that runs on battery power when the truck is not running.
pigpen84 Thanks this. -
Kinda like an apu, I could see this not working very well
-
APU's are a generator that powers your ac/heat and has an inverter to power your appliances. Much louder but runs forever or until you run out of diesel. LOL
EPU's run super quiet but only last 10 hours or so. Then you need to start the truck to recharge the batteries.
