    Abilene does reefer and dry van, pretty sure Freymiller is reefer only. I don't like reefer. Abilene trucks are well equipped with inverters and fridges, but no APU. You can idle as much as your truck will let you. They are programmed to shutdown between 27-65 degrees. Plenty of miles at Abilene including NE which we go to a lot. Abilene has all automatics. Freightliner Cascadias, Volvo 780s, Kenworth T680s and Mack. All but the Masks are full size Condos.

    Millis is all KW autos, .42 cpm. Refrigerator, direct tv, xm radio, inverter, no APU, yet they don’t complain about idling.
    Governed at 66 mph, raised to 70 at 1 year.

    I’m not sure what you mean by stuck with, all three are good choices especially for a new driver. If they hire you they are giving you the opportunity to drive some pretty nice equipment.

    Yes, the oldest is 2015, they are being phased out this year to new ones.
    The only downside is driver facing cams, lane departure, and forward radar.
