    They told me the break down of the fleet, they have 100 T600's which is what I asked for. All trucks have APU's. I want to say 50 379's, 50 387 i think, some internationals, and 1 freightliner with an auto tranny.

    Kiviknon- Don't let the thoughts of a few spoil your fun. If Butler is going to be the company for you then good luck. I know it is hard to find a company that fits. There are way too many companies that tell you one thing then leave the driver hanging. I enjoy reading about other drivers' travels. So have fun and keep us informed.

    its not the rate of pay that matters--its the amount of miles--i cant see how that is so hard to figure out
    and if you are happy working there --that is worth money as well
    congrats on the new job and hope it works out good
