    Actually, I had enough of SRT and quit in 2013. but still, those voices from far away still kinda haunt me.

    Can you be on time ......Y/N.

    I told my Dispatcher Treston, hey, stop asking! If I'm ever going to be late, you'll be the last to know.

    I drove by there on the round trip to Texarkana today and there were several cars parked there. The shop was wide open with trucks pulling in and there seemed to still be a lot of activity going on there. All of the trucks I saw had been re branded with Covenant stickers.

    Covenant has already started sodomizing several SRT drivers

    That facility cost 30 million back in 2005 and was completed in 2006, they added a express bay...but other than that, all those tractors and trailers were leased from CTG.

    From what I heard, SRT was making a profit. I bet Covenant Transport gutted them for the money.

    A buddy told me their trucks don't have APUs. Gotta have APUs for driver comfort especially doing business in Texas in summer.

    SRT trucks didn't have apu...and they would punish drivers for idling too much.

    @VolunteerTrucker SRT didn't have APUs and weren't planning on having them installed. Why, was never specified either. @DustyRoad what punishment was there? I idled when I needed to and the only thing that happened was I wasn't given a fuel bonus.

    My speed was always 65. When they got at me for idling, I told them to turn off their a/c or heater and get back to me.
