Message:: [QUOTE="Charliewayne, post: 1880431, member: 37675"]You would just have to call [800 869 3737] and find out for sure, but I would think that they would. We run a LOT of freight through MD and surrounding areas, I mean a LOT! The newer [2011-2012] tractors are all E-logs. They say the whole fleet will be within a yr or so-of course they said that a yr or so ago when I hired on too. From what I read, all companies will be forced to E'log within a yr or two anyway, so it doesn't really matter much where you work anymore. As far as idle policies, their goal is under 30% in the summer and less in winter as almost all tractors are equipt with bunk heaters. They [heaters] actually work pretty well. Epes drivers stay primarily east of the Mississippi as we have a sister company Texas Star Express, that handles our loads further west than that, as they are based out of Rockwall, Tx. Not to say you won't go west of the Miss., I have been to Ia. several times, to Kansas, and several times to Tx. It just depends on how the loads fall and if you want to go. They don't normally force you to take the load if you don't want, and wont asssign it to you if its near the weekend and they have nothing to get you back home. They wont leave you stranded all weekend. Hope that helps.........[/QUOTE]
