    Days worked also, if you run hard and reset too often it actually counts against you.

    A company that i last worked for (cdl wise) just called me and wants me to come back. And work roll off side. Im honestly okay with that if i can get home daily. That and i know their trucks. So thats helpful. Its a small company. Maybe 40 trucks? They didn't pay much when i first started but they offered better pay and more home time then before.

    I've been in contact with a recruiter from SNI for the last 2 weeks, and from what I've gathered from her, you can only idle if it's above 70 degrees or below a certain amount. I'm sure people do it anyway but that's what I was told. Luckily a more local gig popped up so I don't even have that concern anymore.

    Swamp cooler. Basically an ice box with a fan pulling air through it...blows cold air 'til the ice melts, at which point you dump out the water and refill it with ice.

    Regarding the SNI bonus criteria I heard you have to at least pull into each Pilot/Flying J the fuel routing system has even if you don't purchase fuel. Otherwise it thinks you missed a fuel stop.
