My journey with PGT begins today

I will try to address all the comments, but forgive me if I leave something out. First let me tell you about the day I just had. I had to go to the terminal to talk to the dispatcher and pick up a couple pieces of equipment. My dispatcher was trying to find me a trailer for my load on Monday. We got about 6" of snow last night and it is still coming down hard. I walked around looking for the trailer for about an hour because he gave me the wrong number at first. I finally found it and it looked to be loaded. I had to use one of the small window cleaner brushes to clear the deck and find out what was on it. Turns out that it was just 8 4x4's that who ever dropped the trailer left on there. It looked like a load because there was about a foot of snow on it and he had strapped them lengthwise 4 in front and 4 in the back. Then I had to get all my tarps and other stuff loaded on the snow covered trailer.

Okay on to the comments. I have no clue the size of the sleeper. It is small. I think the double bunks are 72 and the single are about 55-60. I really do not know. They issued 3 trucks when I got mine and 2 were single bunk 9400, one was a 09 prostar, and one was a double bunk 9400.

I got a truck with e logs and it has a built in nav unit. All the trucks will have them in the next 5-6 months I have been told. I also have a Rand TND 720 and I may sell it if I like the one on the Qualcom.

I Make 26% since they gave me 3 years credit for my army experience.

I have got in the habit of writing down all my load info as well as the pay every load so I will not have any issues there. They also email your pay stub so you can compare everything on the road. I have a bunch of note books courtesy of the army.

 

Did you bother to read any of my post before you asked this?

 

If I told the dispatcher I was worried about getting home I probably would have got a ###### load going home, however I told him I am not concerned about home time now just send me where the money is. I told him I was willing to go anywhere from Texas to Canada if it pays good. He was working a load of wallboard to get me home, but as soon as I told him that he gave me a load. He was looking for about an hour for a load home before that.

There is plenty of room for a microwave and fridge if you do not mind sleeping with a microwave and fridge. Honestly though there is a little shelf space at the foot of the bed. There is a couple small cubbie holes that you can shove some clothes in and a 3' by maybe 2' shelf at the foot of the bed. and then there is another shelf up high about the same size. Not much room for a fridge , but could easily fit a microwave. I am just gonna go get a medium 12v cooler and use that.
