    Does your truck have an APU on it??? I notice some Prime trucks have it and some do not.

    It's mostly a matter of availability, and getting on the list to get an APU installed. Some lease operators don't get one, but that's stupid considering what it costs to idle.

    Jimmy, I'm from a town south of where you live in GA. Is there anyway possible you could find out if we would have the same FM, and would you be training or do you have to do the 6 months first? I'm going June 4th for my class, and it would be cool to know people from my own back yard. Thanks man.

    Yes, I have an apu. Rig Master. It's loud and quirky, but it gets the job done.

    And I don't know about the dispatcher assignment. My FM has treated me well though, so you could request him if you like. Pm me for his name. And I don't train, and presently have no intentions to start, but if I do, I'll let you know.

    JB taking on the training responsibilities would require a new (larger) truck, right? No L/W bonus?

    Correct. I am making good money right now in my cozy Prostar. I am more than satisfied with my situation as it is right now.
