Couple extra questions...
Training is manual but most trucks are autos?
What is the standard load out of the truck? Apu, inverter, fridge? As much info on the truck as possible would be great.
KLLM vs FFE

It was on their dime, but refusing a trainer stopped it. Outside the school, manuals are very rare. Newer trucks have inverters and fridges.

No APU, inverter or fridge in most cases. You will not be allowed to put in an inverter. Take along a foam mattress topper, a thick one.
You will most likely get an auto trans. -

So probably depends on the shop/terminal.

Some of the older trucks might already have a inverter from the previous driver.
My 1st truck didn't have an inverter or fridge. (2015 freightliner) I bought an inverter and fridge (Walmart $79).
My 2nd truck was also a 2015 volvo. It came with an inverter. No fridge. No problem, went to Walmart and bought a 3.2 Galanz fridge. Put that one behind the drivers seat in the cabinet. The smaller one (1.7 galanz) from my 1st truck went behind the passenger seat, in the cabinet with my microwave on top. Had that truck till Nov 2019.
My 3rd truck, a 2020 freightliner came with an inverter and fridge. Took my small fridge (1.7 galanz) and put it on top of the already installed fridge ( use it as a freezer). My microwave goes on the shelf above it.
They do come with a standard mattress. I went to Walmart and bought a twin 6in memory foam mattress ($130) and use that on top of the regular mattress. Works great.Wasted Thyme Thanks this. -
