    I still plan on going o/o. Maybe not with roehl, but eventually I will own my own truck.

    Been thinking about that myself. Think I'll see how the next election goes first. :)

    Is Roehl going with autos in their new trucks or is yours an enigma?

    Mines from a reefer company they bought out. Roehl only buys straight 10 speed manuals

    Can you use an inverter and get your fridge? I'm not going to Roehl till August and after reading this thread a bit, confused on what equipment I'll end up with. Auto or 13 speed? Inverter? APU? Seems like Roehl has a little bit of everything? LOL... I'm wanting to bring the TV and satellite, Microwave, fridge (or at least coleman cooler) X-Box, laptop. All this possible? I'd hate to get stuck with a book and a styrofoam cooler but such is life..

    2007 Columbia with apu includes an inverter. Roehl only allows a Max 1,000 watt

    2007 Columbia without apu...nothing special.

    2011+ cascadia and prostar- batter pack "epu", no inverter.

    Some of the flat bed trucks have a 13spd I've been told. I'm not 100% sure though. The blue ones are autos. Red are all 10's

    If you do the 7/7 you'll be in one truck just sharing it with someone else, you do the 14/7 then Its 2 trucks between 3 guys. So you might have the same one every time.

    I love having an assigned truck, taking it home. Love it lol

    Don't rub it in! LOL! I'd love an assigned truck... Will eventually do the O/O route after my boys get older. I'll be doing the 7/7 to start. If I'm not making enough after 6 months will switch to the 7/3-7/4 fleet. Nice to know we'll be sharing the 1 truck. Wish I was starting tomorrow and not August... By the way, I've been reading this forum for a couple months now and can't thank you all enough for the info that's shared here. It's how I came to choose Roehl out of a zillion and one companys. Thanks Dirty for the info! Hope to meet ya all at some point down the road. :]
