    then how do you stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer, keep in mind the bad sleep you get when your truck is 0 degrease or humid and 100 deg, bad sleep means crash. Please answer this as i am cosidering over the road

    You can idle the truck, especially at those temps. Their low end is too low for me though. 25 degrees . . . I'll be idling before it gets that cold in my truck!

    What's made it so that companies need to do things like crack down on idle time is the drivers that think they need to idle when it's 70 degrees and absolutely beautiful out . . .

    Yeah, I started with Werner, after one month, left and went with Transam, never been happier, TransAm has treated me fair and decent, when hired on the director of recruiting and HR personnel called me and welcomed me on, asked if I had questions issues, need anything. Never been treated like ever before!!! I am a company driver, and like it, look at TransAm.

    Qualcomm tells them everything the truck is doing, shift patterns, rpm's at shift, road speed, engine parameters, etc....

    Do some more research on them on here too I did alot and found out they have a bad safety issues and they don't call it the big blue screw for nothing more bad than good I found out.Prime is a better choice and for pets check out big rig dogs.com. Millis is good and schneider is really good just some other options CR-England isn't good either I have found out they will force you into a lease after 6 months then the miles drop and you starve to eat and pay bills ect as well as struggle to pay the lease payment.I have also found out it isn't good to lease a truck in your first yr.at all.
