If you're 60 and want to roll light may i suggest running hard for a little bit to get trained, if you like after a few months go out and buy yourself a truck and lease on to a company, Roehl, Schneider, etc.... then you can get exactly what you want and roll part time. At 60 you should be in a position to control your own finances. A lot of new company drivers think they can get a company truck and just sort of ease on down the road...problem is that the company has a big chunk of change invested in that nice truck and needs to get a return on investment.

The epu thing is just batteries instead of an onboard diesel generator (APU). On a rare occasion i will sit a big longer than my ten and may need to idle a bit to recharge. My bunk heater has worked flawlessly even in zero degrees. When it gets that cold I tend to idle some every few hours to make sure i don't gel up, thats with treated fuel.

when you run your own truck you buy your own fuel and maintain your own truck so the company does not have that money invested in the equipment. If you own your own truck you can run and lean or as fat as you want to afford.

I replied to this earlier but I guess it did no go through. I have thought about buying my own truck maybe later but think,I just want to be a company driver for now , less headaches lol

sounds like you are the pitch man for the company because if you had a cdl and drove for them, you would quickly see that all the bs you put up with one of those tyson loads is not worth any amount of pay!
