thanks for the promp answer. My problem is I live in Maine and it seems hard to find company that hires from eastcoast. I like TMC and Maverick. I am trying more options more than one so i can choose.
RuthlessPumpkin Thanks this. -
for the elctrical outlets in a sleeper cab, do they use the 110v outlets or is it the cigerette lighter type requiring an adapter?
RuthlessPumpkin Thanks this. -
Holy Hijacked Thread Batman!
Anyways, i just came home yesterday for 3 off. my first run went OK all in all, i am enjoying driving so far. the truck runs well, so far i have only noticed a couple of small issues with it.
for all who are going out with a trainer soon....ignore the part of the packing list they send you that states:
"bring a small pillow"
bring the pillow you want, as long as you can fit it in (or on) your luggage. there is ample room in the top bunk for whatever pillow you put up there.
So ya may as well be comfortable.
the space issue is more with total amount of luggage, try to keep it compact. i had a 20" duffel of clothes, a "book bag" for a shower bag, and my lap-top case doubling as a briefcase. it was a bit tight.
i go back out monday morning, i plan on devastating the local sushi bars' supplies of fish & saki tonite!!Last edited: Sep 29, 2012
Airborne and RuthlessPumpkin Thank this. -
This has been really helpful Jeepnut. I am leaving for the 8th orientation in Gary or waiting for the 15th in Phoenix. Most likely Gary as I have bills to pay and children to feed. Please keep us posted. How has the pay and miles been so far? Is it close to what we have been told? Also do you know if they do cpaps or anything for apnea. Just asking since your the most recent person out of the terminals.

Glad its working out for you there. I drove for Roehl out of Northern NH when they bought out my small company and it didn't work out for me. No way to get me home but they ended up closing the terminal anyways. Keep the posts coming and driver safely.
RuthlessPumpkin Thanks this. -
btw: what terminal are you going to be based out of and how are they going to get you home up there? Can you take your truck home on the days off?
RuthlessPumpkin Thanks this. -
RuthlessPumpkin Thanks this.
