    Do all the truck have the APU on them? I'm assuming they are E-logs? How often do they seem to run you up toward the northeast?

    Yes all the trucks have APUs and are well maintained. The trucks are 2 year old and newer. As far as the Northeast, it just depends on the load. I’ve been to NJ twice but it’s the edge of NJ (Somerset) but my trainer was in the Bronx yesterday. So we do go there. But it doesn’t seem to be a regular occurrence.

    Talked to them today. They said they are not sure i'm in a good spot to be hired but if i were it woudl most likely be the step deck fleet. So i'm waiting to see if i am in a position to be hired through them and what they want me to run when i am hired, and i'll be able to make a decision. Hopefully good news coming my way soon. Step deck intrigues me b/c i have never ran a stepdeck flatbed, but i have ran step deck auto parts trailers, so prolly not much diff other than how big the loads are.?? LOL

    See i wouldn't mind learning that. It intrigues me. Do you know if they pay more for those than the vans? i'm sure they will tell me if they can hire me, but i'm curious now. LOL

    Looks that way. Just waiting for everything to clear. I have to go get my permit asap, do physical and drug screen, but i'm not worried about any of that. I'm gonna study a bit to freshen up my mind and i should be good to go. Hoping to knock most if not all of it out next week.
