Which company will you be running for? PM me if you choose not to publicly expose the name of the company at this time.
If you had to guess, your first guess would probably be right.
Hahahaha I just read that post. No. Its a normal straight truck with a sleeper.
So I’ll guess Fedex.
I will guess All-State.
If you run team for Andy you have to, or get to, sleep with your head in the driver’s lap.
Depending on how you feel about him.

Unless that stands for pumas tigers and lions I think you missed my hint. Hahah
Although I have no advice (no class A or van driving), this is an interesting discussion and I'd love to hear your update after you've been doing it for a while. Best wishes in your new venture.
been at it for a few days now, probably stuck for labor day weekend but may get lucky and we are first on the board. The biggest thing ive noticed driving wise is the width difference, i used to kinda hug the shoulder in the van so it takes some getting used to having to be in the more centered. Turning is pretty easy, not as effortless as a van but its never really an issue. knock on wood. backing up to a dock takes getting used to but its definately not backing up a 53' trailer, definately nothing hard but not just going up a ramp in a van. Hardest part so far is getting used to the 11pm to 11am shift, but at least its not a 24 7 shift like it was in a van.
