    Hi. I am a prospective trucker looking at getting my CDL through Prime. I am a very particular sleeper - any humidity and I have a tough time. Are Primes trucks equipped with APUs to allow for air conditioning through the night? Any info is appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Nate

    Yeah APUs are standard in all trucks. Never really noticed humidity in the truck but I'm not too particular. I got my CDL here five years ago and still trucking with Prime.

    Not only through the night, but also through the day.

    In the Sonora of the American Southwest Cab and Sleeper AC might be at 75 degrees inside at whatever humid there is usually none to speak of... Now in Florida on the other hand...

    Your sleep schedule flip flops. And sometimes depending on where you park you have visitors pounding on your sleeper. None at all.

    I posted it here first but didnt realize there was already a general question thread, so I posted it there. Didnt think that would be a big deal. Again, I appreciate the advice from all of you guys. I think I'm gonna end up going with Magnum LTD just because their hubs are closer to my home.
