    Models are mostly 630's (midroof) and flat tops (don't remember the number; 400-something). There are a few daycabs here and there.
    As for age, they pretty much keep them 4-5 years. I'm currently in a 2014 630, but about to get a brand new 640, VNR series.

    Mine is an older model but runs like a dream, very well kept inside. I would’ve loved a flat top but this midroof is swell.

    Starting training next week. Really happy to get going. And Murphy’s Law is already in effect as I came down sick as hell today Hopefully I’ll feel good to go by Monday or I’ll be suffering through it :(.

    I'm not sure. Best way to get an accurate answer on that would be to call the Kingsport, TN terminal.

    First week went good. Ran two methanol runs first day, I only drove empty on one return trip. Then three days running acid. Learned a lot about PPE, safety, how to load etc. Gotta leave at 1 am Monday to get to Wilmington at 3 so we can deliver our load at 7 am. That’ll be a long tired day. Orientation Wed and Thur next week. Curious how many other guys will be there.
