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

Sorry if this has been asked before but what trucks does this program have to choose from? Been very interested in going this route.

 

Peterbilt 579 also

 

hey guys I am looking at a 16 evo and wondering if anyone knows what apu is on them and if they have inverters? I can call the leasing agent but not until the morning. going to GB in MAY for orientation and get my new Black freighligner 1 yr lease (to test the waters there)

 

there is NO APU on the Shaker! you get a battery pack for the AC
If you want an APU it's an extra $1800 up front

Good luck, it's wayyy better here than Swift

 

The idle aire APU does have electricity outlets in the truck...it's on the info sfi sent me and I confirmed on their website at idleaire.

 

I think we misunderstood.
When I worked for Crete/Shaffer I had a "battery pack" that's what they called it. Where it would recharge when you driving and thats how the AC would work.
However one of the many reasons I hated my life at Crete and live off energy drinks and sleeping pills was because of that stupid battery thing. I cannot sleep in a hot truck and that battery pack would die in 2-3 hours during the daytime in the summer even after a full day I driving. At nigh time and like 75 out degrees it would last 6 hours. That thing drove me nuts.
When I was thinking of joining I told Schneider the system I had at Crete and they said it's the same thing here. I told them I refuse to have battery anything for AC because I'm not doing the whole "sleeping" in a hot truck again.
They said my options were a Kenworth or $1800 add on for the Shaker for a fuel powered APU.

I dunno if I was just unlucky but it gets hot as hell in these truck during summer and those battery things just don't do the job. Crete also would let you idle the truck also so yeah.
I made good money at Crete though but forget those 3am appointments and sleeping during the day lol
