Anyone know what percentage of their trucks are equipped with APUs? What brand of APU do they use?
I'm heading to Sayreville tomorrow morning for the 10 day orientation. My home terminal will be Dalton. -

We have 3 brands. Black Rock, Pony Pack, and Thermo King. All new trucks that are being equiped with APU's are getting Thermo King.
You'll note in the handbook, they want compliance with some fairly strict idle times. They don't get too antsy about it, unless you have some whacked up "bonus" compliance issues. We have 3 areas of compliance, mpg, idle times, and fuel stops. As long as you stay within compliance on fuel stops, idling won't be a big issue during extreme temp swings. Unlike other companies, they want you to be "well" rested when you take your break...not half baked or frozen. -
if you're training in missoula from early oct to about late april....expect to spend alittle time frozen
I-90 between livingston and bilings was a skating rink today...and the rest of the west (northern) is about the same -

Its nice to read there are good (big) companies out there that don't treat their employees like crap. Then again often its how you the employee conduct yourself in doing your job.
It just seems to me that treating your employees decent would be good business, as keeping turnover to a minimum would be good for the bottom line.
I have a good job and work for a good company, but it has its negatives, ie wet weather, as we do a lot of off road stuff, dropping concrete pipe at construction sites. Guess at my age I should be glad for some days off due to weather. We have had guys come and go, but its mostly due to they can't hack the work involved rolling pipe or its too much work for their weiny butts to handle.
