Questions bout s/t's

Rookie Expediter
I have just some general questions about some straight trucks. I've been looking at pictures to see what the sleepers are like on some of the 5 foot and 6 foot sleepers. Can't get much information, even looked in the classified on here. Generally what all do the sleepers have in them? I know they are two bed's but from what I have seen the top bunk is really small. Also fridge's. Do the trucks have them in them usually when you start with a company. I am looking at expediters services because I find really good info on them. What kinda miles do you expect to get on a truck before it is generally retired? I seen one where a person had a bigger fridge installed in it.

Also i am looking in to other companies as well as expediters services. I am currently certified with Panther, but as far as going out I need to wait till i get my tax return to be able to afford some small things i will need to go out. And I know i will most likely have to pay for costs at orientation and a week or so without pay. Is there a list of companies like from state to state. I am in TN and I am not coming up with anything. I am also considering about finding someone that will do solo drivers. I know I won't make as much, but after reading what some people have put on here about the nightmares of dealing with someone elses s**t day in and day out, that it is more worthwhile going at it alone. Thanx in advance for any help
