Choice program on the West Coast - from company driver to IC

Saleen are you in IC orientation? if so where at?

 

Yes.....I'm in Green Bay at the OC training....my battery went dead so they are charging it. Ready to take it to the hotel n put my things in....ready to go make $$$ lol...cold up here to...so ready for the south

 

I don't plan on making to many to many trips up this way if I can help it....I know it may be times I will have to but I'm just not use to the north or northeast..... I was on family dollar account running parts of TN..MO..AL..OK but all of MS, LA, AR and half of TX........sorry many stories I hear about VA and all above with the hills n mountains and rules n regulations...... Not like that in the south

 

Just remember not to never say you wont go to most places. after all it is a business and you have to run it like one and go where the freight is best. with that said i don't blame you for not running north i don't like to either however sometimes you gotta do what you gotta. Maybe i missed it but what type of truck did you get saleen.

 

I feel you....I'm open for wherever but with north, northeast being last pick lol....I got a 2014 freightliner cascadia EVO platinum color....10spd eaton ....108,138 on dash with thermo king tripac.....never had that on company truck so gotta get use to that...$766 lease plus $108 main fund..........plus the permits etc from Schneider......believe its like $1030 week.....good thing is I'm glad I'm going back on Wifey insurance so that will help to.

 

You will love the apu. You will wonder how you did without it.

 

Well I had an apu on my company but it wasn't setup the same..... The bunk heater kept going out after about 4 hours of use.....nearly froze one night at 2a in 22 degree weather....... Hope this does better.....signed a 1 year lease to give it a good shot then will plan from there whether to pursue leasing the rest or try to get my own truck n lease on like 1 guy here in class did....he got a freightliner glider with a brand new engine with 1,900 miles on it that he put on driving up here

 

Is the apu electric or diesel?

 

Good question.... Believe electrical.... Trying to read up on it now....just drove it for the first time.....had to bring it back....needs wheel alignment.... Pulls hard right...sucks...hope I can have it back by noon tomorrow once class is over

 

Seems hard to get answers around here....more like call this person that person ask him ask her
