Question about Arnold.

Give Arnold a call,U do't have to commit.This is info they give U freely....

 

Read back through the Arnold threads here. Plenty of recent info from current drivers.

 

Peterbilt lightweights, international lightweights, cascadias but usually got trainers and the few teams. Mostly 2010 and up. Any truck that starts with a 9 or 0 at autos, 1, 2 and 3 series are manuals. first digit of truck number is the year of tractor unless it's an old LinkAmerica truck. LinkAmerica trucks that start with 9's are the only autos they had. Link trucks that start with 32 are 2012 internationals with electric apus. 34 are 2012 peterbilts with thermo king units. And no, Arnold sucks at keeping you in your region to be honest.

 

My experience was more trying to escape the OK/TX/LA area. I always got longer runs by getting out of the SW regional area. Not that it makes any difference if you get less than 2000mi/wk at the .33mi rate.

 

An example of bait & switch: I received an e-mail from an Arnold recruiter....

I e-mailed asking for more info and got this:
"the one in oklahoma was filled last week i have the sw open runs tx,ar,ok,la,ks,mo out 7 to 10 days then home for two"

The thing is, I've never heard of any dedicated in OK. The original e-mail refers to "Texas Tour", which can be a good deal, since it's salary, not mileage, unless you go over a certain number of miles. Very handy if you have the misfortune to have to let the GP shop work on the truck and you are stuck for a few days.
