    They do however it is one of the things most pet lovers don't like about the company. They require you to pay a $1500 non refundable pet deposit. Personally it don't bother me because I don't think pets belong in trucks.

    Hey everyone i have not posted in a while, i thought i posted last night but i dont know where it went. I did take the job with ACT, been there for about a month and love it. My truck is amazing, its going in the shop when i get done with my home time lol but its for minor stuff. I ran from Kansas City, Mo. to Greensboro, Nc. and back to KC last week and some other short runs. Looking forward to that check lol. If anyone lives close to Nashville, Tn. and are looking into ACT i will say this. In the 3 weeks i been there, i got my home time when i asked for it, no questions asked, and during my 3 weeks out i took my 10 hr. break at my house about 4 times lol. So if you want good home time and a great place to work. Look into ACT, everyone is up front, honest, and generally seem to care about you being successfull. Happy new year everyone and be safe.

    No they have only one bunk. But a high sleeper with alot of room, No couch but it does have the emergency exit with the big window in it on the passenger side which helps when blind side backing hahaha. Not alot of storage space in the back i mean im not gonna lie to you, but there is enough for me. I have my truck organized so its all good. Rides good and its quiet. One word of advise. Its cold out so when you look in the mirror and you see smoke or something looking like smoke comming out from under the trailer dont be like me and panic....lol the exhaust for the tractor is under it and not comming out of a stack like most trucks.

    Not to sound like a smart arse, but.. Its not a deposit if it's non-refundable.

    What I did with my truck to give me additional space was go to the lumber store, bought a sheet of plywood, couple of 2x4's, and a box of screws and built myself an upper bunk. No holes drilled or anything and is very sturdy. I keep my cloths and cold weather gear up there and it rides good. Only cost me about $18 for everything.
