No reputable company forces you to run in unsafe conditions or with defective equipment,
Yeah, I am certain that they just mean that they don't want you rejecting loads for invalid reasons. Which is completely understandable.
EPU:
Electric Auxiliary Power Units
Electric APUs have started gaining acceptance. These electric APUs use battery packs instead of the diesel engine on traditional APUs as a source of power. The APU's battery pack is charged when the truck is in motion. When the truck is idle, the stored energy in the battery pack is then used to power an air conditioner, heater, and other devices
It’s forced in the sense of you can’t pick and choose where you want to go. If you decline a load it can’t be because you don’t want to go to a certain place.
OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
Sounds about right. That could be an issue if I was on the Eastern Seaboard I guess. But this will be for Western 11 initially so not a prob.

Didn't realize that they've gone 'company,' as well. We still get recruiting emails from them; all DO sound really good. Here's a quote/note from the president/CEO. I LOVE the fact that he's a driver, as well. To ME, that says a lot!
“My time spent out on the road is invaluable. This is a trucking company and we need to know what the issues are out here. My commitment to all of you is that we are going to make this the best damn trucking company that ever existed.”
-Brad Pinchuk, President & CEO
