@Redtwin --
Also: if you live in the east (say, GA or FL).....how often (if ever) can you run out west (that is, west if I-35 and/or I-29)?
Or is pretty much everything regional--based on where you live/reside?

I have single coverage provided by Aetna. Not sure if family coverage is any different. I pay $56ish per week for medical, dental and vision (the latter 2 are by Guardian), but as you can imagine, deductibles are pretty high at that price.
Generally, no they don't have APUs but they also don't have idle restrictions either. Idle as long as you want in any temp. The 2 Internationals I have seen do have APUs but I think those are unicorns as they have Cedar Rapids Iowa signage, not the usual Winter Haven, FL like the rest of the fleet.
OTR is all 48 states and Canada. I choose to work in the NE simply because that's where I make the most money going into Canada. Before I figured out that gravy train they had me all over the country.
Only time I see NYC is driving through it to get to a regular customer in CT. If time allows, I will drive around it using the Verrazano. Having said that, I have only been to that customer 3 times in 2 years. If NYC is an absolute no go for you, just tell them. If you are working in the central/western US you will likely never have that run come up.Speed_Drums and CalculatedRisk Thank this. -
The only reason I don't go west is because I make more money in the NE. On more than one occasion they have asked if I am not tired of that area and want to stretch my legs out west and my answer is always no. They keep me where I want to run.
Only very recently did I spend a week running between IN and GA because they were seriously short drivers on a big account in that area. I wasn't thrilled about it as I would be losing out on Canada pay, but I still broke $2K for that week, so can't really grumble too much.Speed_Drums, xlsdraw, CalculatedRisk and 1 other person Thank this. -

It's gonna be very interesting to see how their training program is. Do you have any insight or knowledge on how it's going to be done?

They do state that they reserve the right to charge driver for extra fuel if they go more than 100 miles out of route. Haven't tested that one.
Apparently that came about because of a driver heading to California from NJ routing himself down to TX to swing by his house.BlueThunderr and Speed_Drums Thank this. -
Speed_Drums and REO6205 Thank this.

I did one day of orientation with IRT a few years back that was all I needed to see.
