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.
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
Actualloly spoke with a Maverick driver the other day. He seemed very happy with the company he said it was his first company out of CDL school and he has stayed there three years. He was in the specialized glass flatbed division. I believe he said his pay is currently is 55 cpm and he was happy with his weekly miles. Maverick trucks always look clean and well maintained and loads look secured properly.
