    Can you tell me about where Penske you have to park on home time? Also what kind of trucks you're driving?

    I have heard of some guys in the west that only run in the west but I honestly don't know for certain. The recruiting gal can tell you. Sorry

    I run out of Carthage and we park at the Penske there in town. Leave my car there while I'm on the road.
    Right now I'm driving a 2013 Freightliner Cascadia. Detroit with a 10 speed manual. Has A Tripac APU. I think I'll be getting a new one toward the end of the year. I've heard the new ones will have an automatic.

    LP hauls a lot of wire which is heavy probably requiring a forklift. Don't quote me but I'd say no touch freight for the most part. I could be wrong so call recruiting and LP dispatch to be certain.

    I personally do not touch freight. We haul Wise chip loads out of PA do varying places and I have had to turn the pallets and handle some cases of product. A whole load of that stuff is only around 9000 lbs so no biggie.

    Thanks so much for your answers. Already spoke with recruiter but still had a few questions. Do they pay per Diem? I'm trying to figure out how your income gets to what it dies with the average miles and per cent.
