    No APU's!

    Idle is pretty strict so I hear, one of the company drivers should be able to give you a percentage.

    They may be worse than Swift.
    Coming into winter it really should not be too bad though. They have wabaso underbunk heaters in all trucks.
    Set your icon on engine mode (it will only start for low battery or to keep engine 70degrees+) this does not count on your qualcom as idle.
    Then set the bunk heater for your heat.
    In warm weather you have to watch it though. They have a set %, and if you are over that you will be paying for the fuel at the end of the month.
    No APUs on company trucks.
    BTW
    Using my bunk heater and icon on engine mode I had a 0-3% idle for a full winter in the northeast. Some days had winds over -20. I was toasty warm with no idle.

    Well good luck to ya, I know some panel beaters that are still doing pretty good. I never had the patience for it personally. I do like welding but hate bondo! I have no kids and no real commitments to speak of (aside from my old lady) Shes real understanding though and hopes to come along at some point. Ive always been with Ford too, or ford subsidiaries (Land Rover, Jaguar, Mazda and Ford) Its always in your blood, but I need a break from it for awhile. Its a Love/Hate type of deal.

    a sleeping bag is the best bedding to bring. that way in training you just have to put your bag on top of your trainers bunk when hes driveing.

    Should be in conley GA (Ghetto sh*thole) as its only a little over an hour from my house. Hope they got razorwire around the joint, Ive not been that far down moreland ave. But a few miles north from the facility is the starlight six drive-in where they host dixie fried hotrod meet every year, and well, its where old hookers go to die. Maybe someone that has been there can chime in. Is it secure enough to park my beloved 46' there?
