    Hands down Celadork has better equipment than Schneider. Can't idle a Schneider truck unless it is below 20 or over 70, no refrigerator, truck shuts down after 4 minutes, and will shut off accessory jacks when the battery is used too much (so forget about a TV or 12v cooler). Celadon has opti-idle in their pornstars, which is easy to get used to. You will never freeze or bake in them because it will make sure the truck starts up to recharge the battery after use by the electric APU.

    I no longer work for Celadon, but they no doubt have better equipment.

    Call Freight Systems division in N Little Rock. Get on Rachels board. You wont sit. I ran 3000+ miles per week consistently, hitting 3944 in second week of Dec. Not sure if you can do that out of Indy.

    It's just the begging not trying to sound horrible celadon use to be the best company until mr Russell stepped down. I worked for them for over 6 yrs until a year ago it was a great company. Now I would not recommend this company to anyone. I bought a truck from them lease purchase and i am one of the few that has paid it off.it was a struggle. And I teamed that's how we got the truck paid off And they did not like it.also keep a eye on your payroll checks make sure u check them also make sure u make copies of everything keep records of everything. Good luck I hope it works for him
