How much exp do you have?If you feel you don't need a trainer I would go with company B.Sounds like they have real good equipment as A does but they have 100 trks meaning less likely you'll be sitting waiting for a load.Don't be fooled by the 3000.00 bonus company A is offering.But I would ask B what their requirements are with the 30 plus 5 cpm bonus.Ask them how much their detention pay is.
I Can't Make A Decision. Please Help!

The Freightliner i thought was pretty nice. If you call it a Crapcadia, I can only imagine what the Peterbilt will be like.
Thanks for your feedback, very much appreciated.
Their requirements for hitting the .5+ CPM is based on five things.
1. Your MPG anything over 6.8 you get .1 CPM
2. Idle % lower than 30% you get .1 CPM (Trucks have Opti-Idle)
3. No Accidents or Tickets that week you get .1 CPM
4. Averaging 10k miles month you get .1 CPM
5. Good Employee, accepts majority of loads .you get 1 CPM
Total - .35 CPM If all bonus's are met.
Company B also mention after 2-3 months they will bump your pay depending on performance.
The recruiter gave me a phone number of one of their drivers and spoke with him for over 45 minutes.
Said he had been with the company since 1/2015 and he has received 3 pay increases so far. Last paycheck he got was for 3400 miles. Said he would even txt me a pic of his statement to prove he wasn't lying.
Detention pay is $15/hour and paid after 2 hours. Walmarts do not pay detention pay though. -
Saw your post about recruiters. Nevermind.

Opti-idle............I'd pass on both.
Good Luck -
I just don't want to put either of them on blast if you know what I mean.
Trying to be respectful of both.pattyj Thanks this. -
Last company had neither so sounds good to me.
Curious though - I heard if its really hot the APU don't cool the truck as much as the main trucks A/C, is this true?123456 Thanks this. -

Company B did mention the truck does have in dash nav, which I am assuming that is what the screen on the dashboard console is?
I can surely see the difference with my eyes, but is there also a noticeable difference in handling and ride? -
Well I'm in a Kenworth now which I guess is similar to Peterbilt and the difference is like night and day compared to when I was in a Freightshaker.
To put it simply... wayyyy more comfortable.
