    They will allow their shop to install an inverter up to 400w only. When you are put in a different truck the inverter remains behind. On the plus side, GTI is one of the few larger fleets going to 100% APU's on their OTR tractors. All tractors 2007 and newer have an APU, 1800w inverter, A/C, and diesel bunk heater installed. Something to consider when weighing the advantages of one starter company over another.

    It seems they maybe hurting for experienced drivers, No trainers available, and a waiting list that seems to grow daily. Im tired of playing the waiting game, and have decided to go with Prime. Might be longer training periods, but in my book thats a good thing.

    maybe if they treated their "experienced" drivers right they wouldn't have a retention problem

    But it's typical of kids who took over daddy's business in the trucking industry and never had to actually work for anything
