You can run 48 if you live on the West Coast. I know some that do.
The older trucks, Freightliner Columbia are being phased out, they do have APUs. The new trucks do not have APUs and thats why they have a very Liberal Idle Policy.
New trucks: Kenworth T660, Freightliner Cascadia, Volvo, International ProStar. All with 10 Speed Manual. (The old Columbias are Automatic).

I have been with Interstate since November 2012 and I am an Owner/Op .. Like Joe, I am 98% Happy and plan to stay with them.
Even now during the "slow season" they keep us running. And I love the Paper Logs ..

Detention pay is by contract some offer after 2 or 4 hours varies by vendor. I have had one stop where I was there for 6 hours for a live unload and I really mean one stop out of the many I have done....... I just got in my sleeper and went to sleep and the loading dock beat on my door when they were ready for me to leave.... I didn't ask for any pay to sleep

I do not know bout the older trucks what they were decked with...... Yes we also have guys running DAY cabs down in Fontana Wilsonville and Tacoma but I think you have to work your way into one of the local gigs by invite or seniority they are not any open I am aware of.... I have been keeping my eye open but I think we have a fleet of OTR guys that are watching too that have paid their dues and they will get selected before a new hire would for local work with Interstate..... Makes sense to me! YES people mention slow season? I didn't see any slow down in my work load.... I had to ask to come home or they would keep running me
Paloma Thanks this. -
