She (the recruiter)thought once a month but she said they like clean trucks also so if it's dirty you can probably get it washed more than that if it needs it. I'm kind of anal when it comes to clean. Anyway, any other info appreciated. Thanx
Generally speaking the trucks are Freightliner Century S/T's with Meritor 10 speed transmissions and Detroit engines governed at 65. I just got a new 07 last week. This one has a CD player, but my 04 had a cassette. The seats are pretty basic with armrests. The floors are rubber, but you can get a precut carpet set in black, charcoal or gray out of the company store in Lincoln, NE for $75. Only the passenger side mirror/window is power and they do have heated mirrors. You can wash your truck at a Pilot Express or Blue Beacon once a month. Anything over that is out of your pocket. You're allowed to wash your truck at the terminals as often as you like for free. I know at Lincoln they have one or two full time guys that clean them. Hope that helps. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.
