Driver Resources
We work with our drivers to develop long-lasting careers. We try to mitigate common issues that arise like being held at a shipper for 20 hours, snowstorms, equipment breakdowns, and traffic. All of these things are expected in the industry, and we understand how they can take their toll on drivers. We do everything we can to reduce the impact of these issues to make your life easier. We keep things moving so that you can enjoy your job and get to your destination safely and on time. Why? Because it affects your bottom line, not just ours.
Salary Details
The transportation industry offers flexibility, security, and growth. We excel in providing a flexible work environment with the option to be salaried and take on long hauls.

Auxiliary Power Units
At Great Plains Transport, we utilize two different APUs. With any APU,
there are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind when operating the unit.
TIPS & TRICKS
TIPS & TRICKS
Auxiliary Power Facts at a Glance
1. You can maintain your bunk at a desired temperature by preheating/cooling your tractor and closing the curtains to your bunk.
2. Remember to leave in battery mode when truck is not running.
3. Remember to plug-in to shore power as much as possible if you have an electric APU
4. If the outside temperature is outside of 40-70 degrees Fahrenheit, you are able to idle your truck and not depend solely on the APU. This can prevent gelling of the equipment in colder temperatures.
5. Green Machines are coolant heated, therefore they will produce the same temperature as your truck.
6. Thermo King has an Espar Airtronic Heater, which is a diesel fired air heater
7. Carrier has a 110 volt heater
