Cfi

Wife and I are considering CFI. No APU? New driver, would that cause any concerns?

 

@RoadRooster from Ft. Myers works there.

 

I thought I'd need an apu before I started driving 10 months ago. But honestly it's really not necessary at all. Just ide.for a bit before bed worst case scenario. Idle on hot days or very cold days etc. The inverter is enough to make me happy

 

Does idling effect any sort of fuel bonus they offer ? Do they restrict idling ? Are you ever too hot or cold because of no APU ?

 

You can idle above 70 and below 35 I think. Never too hot or cold. Worst case there's a trick to bypass it. There is no fuel bonus but they do want us to maintain a certain mpg areaanf a certain idle percentage

 

Are they dry van or reefer ? Do they cover all 48 for OTR drivers ? How many miles can a driver expect a week? And, do they test out in manuals ?

 

Dry van only
48 States plus Canada. Canada is not required but you can do it if you want to
I average 2500 miles a week. Some weeks over 3000 some weeks just above 2000. Never see myself.below 2000 unless I had a breakdown or something.
I tested in a 13 speed in orientation and I think they have everyone test in that. But our whole fleet is pretty much automatics so I'm sure if you have a restricted license you can request to test in automatic.

 

was just contacted by cfi, recent roadmaster grad,looking for info on them will be my first job

 

I went to Roadmaster and have only driven for cfi. I couldn't be happier
