Starting a fleet of trucks

One of the drivers from TMC mentioned they absolutely prohibited from idling ....met him in tx one time at 95F ....i was tired after standing 5 min on that heat , TMC driver seemed completely dead compared to me !

 

I've always been told they have a very liberal idle policy. I see them idling all the time.

If its 95 outside, the truck would be well over 120 inside... No way in Hell would they expect drivers to sit that uncomfortable for 10 hours or longer everyday. No one would work for them if that was the case.

 

Know that, wasn’t addressIng the engine but the cloned trucks.

44 inch sleeper?

 

Used to be the 36”. Pete started measuring from the back of the seat a few years ago like KW does. It’s now 44-58-72 for the flattops instead of 36-48-63.

 

Yeah I get it, now I have to wonder if someone has five trucks like that, who would want to drive them?

 

I know it’s been mentioned but we obviously need to make this as easy as possible

Let me know where you end up putting all of them unless you have your own authority and your own relationships already.

 

If you dont mind a 357, I've been seeing quite a few that fit your description online at auctions recently. Low mileage but think they are ex oil field trucks.

 

And why are all you guys buying into this Charade ?

A 379 Pete with a flat top and c-15 18 speed

And 5 of them to Boot.

Is he going right into heavy hauling ?

 

Whats the charade? Negative thinking gets no one anywhere. We dont know all the details to be calling it a charade. I often ask myself why most on here are so negative.
