    Well I got one of the kW's and it does 64 on the peddle and 64.6 on cruise, but it's a pretty good truck

    mqc1298 you said home on weekends? It's been a good while since I worked for them. When I signed on with them to begin with it was southeast regional and they were running me Monday morning to Friday afternoon like clockwork. Loved it. Then they switched things around and started making everybody stay out 2 weeks at a time and running midwest and northeast a lot. How do they run you specifically now? (time, miles, regions, etc.) And how are they on their idling now? Are the trucks setup with apu's now? If they are, do they have inverters as well? Thanks in advance.

    I do a lot of midwest and southeast. New Jersey is as far northeast as we go and I don't think we go there alot.. They have apu on all 09's and above and i think the apu have inverters on them as mine does..

    They ran me to Jersey and Chicago quite a bit. Ran me all the way to Vermont once. There used to be a flat ornamental stone place on 21 just east of 65 in Atmore that they ran up to Jersey quite often. Usually wound up in a residential area. When I was with them I never turned the truck off till I got back home and they never said a word, but that was about 6 years ago too.
