Getting started here... maybe TLDR?

By the way, since no one else asked, maybe none of my business but is your screen name a true representation of your current health situation or is just for humor? Because if you really have narcolepsy i could see that being problematic...

Lol sorry to change the subject.

 

Tell you what, call Prime recruiting, and ask to speak with Andrea Mueller.

She is the head of the recruiting department (or was, as of 10/17) and can give you verified yes/no answers on this stuff. I wouldn’t settle for an answer that any of the others give you - half the time, in complicated situations, they don’t know what works and what doesn’t, or even, what they require.

If they turn you down for not being employed for helping a family member out, I’ll be very hesitant to recommend them in the future - those situations are rough, and it seems a very commendable thing you’ve done.

 

I was referring to my friend that is the lease op/driver trainer...

 

In your situation, put Jim Palmer Trucking and Prime Inc. at the top of the list and one reason for that is their trucks have diesel APU's. There's an explanation below, plus you'll have electrical power for refrigerator, computer, television, heat, air-conditioning,etc. while the truck engine is shut off. Trucking companies, states, cities,some truck stops, towns, have strict idling laws, so most of the time you have to shut of the truck engine when you're not driving.


Diesel-powered APU on truck
The most common APU for a commercial truck is a small diesel engine with its own cooling system, heating system, generator or alternator system with or without inverter, and air conditioning compressor, housed in an enclosure and mounted to one of the frame rails of a semi-truck. Other designs fully integrate the auxiliary cooling, heating, and electrical components throughout the chassis of the truck. The APU generator engine is a fraction of the main engine's size and uses a fraction of the fuel; some models can run for eight hours on 1 US gallon (3.8 L) of diesel. The generator also powers the main engine's block and fuel system heaters, so the main engine can be started easily right before departure if the APU is allowed to run for a period beforehand. These units are used to provide climate control and electrical power for the truck's sleeper cab and engine block heater during downtime on the road as mandated by statewide laws for idle reduction.[

 

I don't know the answer to that.
If you go with Prime, get a full size truck though, not a tiny Eco truck with no storage space inside.
Jim Palmer doesn't use Eco trucks, and at least with Prime you have a choice; not forced into a tiny truck.
