What type of trucks are they using? do you have inverters or APU's? Anything else I need to know about the trucks being issued for newbies? Trying to prepare as best I can. Being X Military we always like to be prepared!
How many days is orientation? How many weeks out is average with trainer for newbie?

May currently has peterbilt 387s, new 587s, international prostar, freightliner cascadias and a few kenworth t700s. I think they have phased out all of the freightliner centuries.
There no company trucks with apu's. They now only install inverters that you have to buy from them. They are a 2000 watt inverter that costs $225.
Not much to tell about the truck, except if you are a non smoker, be prepared to get a truck that might of belonged to a smoker. It can take some time to get that smell out. They should have it detailed before you get in it anyways.
Orientation is three days. Typical things like drive test, skills test, paperwork and videos and such. Hopefully you don't have to wait too long to get a trainer. Just depends on where they are and if they are available. After that, you should be out 2-3 weeks. It might be less, it might be more. Depends on how fast you catch on to things and the loads to get you back. -
I am a non smoker and really have bad allergies to it, I will stop at a detail shop and buy some cleaners meant for neutralizing it as best I can. I wonder if there would be just one that was not smoked in?

I know of at least one. You cannot have mine
-
Aww why can't he have it! lol made me chuckle.

Are you a trainer by chance? How about yours and MAYbe they will give you a new one?
-
I'm thinking about going with May if i do i'm going to do team driving with a friend that is in school now. If i go alone i'm going to consider JBS.Do you make a lot more doing team?
-
They have been getting quite a few of the587s. I have been pestering my DM for one.
-
You want to be my trainer and I can train in yours? Makes sense, then you get a new one?
-
Just curious why you decided to do it this way? Can you make more money driving team? YES and NO Depends!
