Hello Truckers

Hey guys and gals was wondering if we had any Celadon drivers on here. And if someone could in lighten me on if they have APU , power inverter, and if the truck assigned to you after training is your truck as long as your there or until you lease on or they swap it out for a new one. Any help would be much appreciated from the drivers.

APU:

Auxiliary Power Unit

On tractor trailers, and APU is a small diesel engine that powers a heat and air conditioning unit while charging the truck's main batteries at the same time. This allows the driver to remain comfortable in the cab and have access to electric power without running the main truck engine.

Having an APU helps save money in fuel costs and saves wear and tear on the main engine, though they tend to be expensive to install and maintain. Therefore only a very small percentage of the trucks on the road today come equipped with an APU.

Celadon will indeed assign you your own truck once you go solo and normally the only reasons you would give it up is if they were trading it in, it needed extensive and lengthy repairs, or if you needed extended time off.

And Celadon does have trucks equipped with APU's. Most companies require you to buy your own inverter, but they're normally pretty cheap. I'm not sure what their policy is in that regard.

We have a ton of information on Celadon in our Celadon Company Review and we also have about 100 other companies covered in that section so have a look.
