    Hello everyone,
    Just out of CDL training & trying to decide between two company's Schneider being one of them.
    is it true Schneider does NOT have APU'S ?
    And if so, How do you survive out there ?

    if you are referring to those black things hanging off the back wall of some of the tractors those aren't apus. those are battery powered bunk A/C units.

    They do have bunk heaters, but the black things on the outside of the truck are part of the electric ac unit.
