I can say this, I haven't heard anything about the .5cpm raise every 6 months, but that may be new. The bonuses they pay change so what you're offered now, may not be the same next week. It IS possible to take your truck home, but that will depend on your DM. If they will allow it, they will have to send someone out to your house to take photos, etc. At least that was what I was told by my DM when I wanted to go visit my parents while in Florida.
Yes the trucks have bunkheaters, but you'll have to make sure the batteries are new otherwise you'll be having to start the truck every 3 hrs at night like I did with my last truck. And unless they've changed it I believe the idle time is 15%, and then 45% from July to the end of Sept. If your overidle on the QC goes over and your DM didn't put you in for over idle, you'll be docked on your next paycheck.
The inverters will have to come from May so they can insure someone doesn't use an old one and it short out and burn up the truck. When you change trucks, you take the inverter with you. And if you leave the company, its yours as well.
As far as the mileage goes for 11 western vs 48, I've run both. I've had 2800 mile weeks on the Western 11, and I've also had 1700 mile weeks on the 48. Neither example was due to a roll over from earlier week of miles nor low miles due to a breakdown or weather. Basically it ALL boils down to who your DM is, and how much you make a fuss as to your miles.
Coming back.. Maybe...
