    Sounds good to me. That's how I was paid when pulling food grade pneumatic. Do they allow pets?

    I havent been driving at night. Some early morning driving.
    They have like 50 trucks with Apus but no idle policy. I have idled my truck every night and most of the time when I get out of it and I am still getting 6.5 mpg.
    Truck speed is 65 but in like 30 mimutes of driving if you are getting decent fuel mileage it will go to 66 67 68 69 then 70 I get 70 every time.
    48 states but right now I am staying in the Midwest.
    You dont touch a thing no loading or unloading.
    I think the insurance for driver only is 80 bucks a week and I havent looked into it.
    I didnt hear about a bonus.
    As for orientation I think 2 or 3 days mine was different I came in on a Thursday afternoon and finished by Friday afternoon it was only me but it doesn't normally work like that. I was by myself. Orientation is 200

    Simple road test. You will pull a loaded smooth bore tank but I hauled chemicals for 8 years so I know about the slosh.

    Do the refrigerators have a freezer section? Compare them to something. Are they the size of those Coleman 12 volt coolers?

    A dorm room fridge with a small freezer section. Maybe a little smaller than that but you can put plenty in it. I put a ton of food in there but only two or 3 canned drinks at a time to save room for food.
