    USA,,,, DAY-cabs? WTF?

    Anyone ever seen a USA Truck daycab?

    I just talked to a FM about a possible regional route and he told me he'd see about getting me a daycab. Huh?

    Do you think he means the Kennys with the useless sleepers? (Could I POSSIBLY be lucky enough to rate a Kenny?)

    I've also seen some single bunk longnose Petes out in Van Buren, (in USA Livery at HQ) they just got in. They don't look very good for teams or spending more than a week in. Could they mean those?

    I don't want to get my hopes up, but I'd hardly call the average USA 9400 or Prostar a "Daycab".

    What could they mean?

    USA with a long nose pete?????? U must see something i aint seen. They have 386 and 387. petes and the t-660's are also nice both the kwhoppers and the petes are a ton better than the 9400's. The prostars i cant speak for never been in one of those.

    But maybe a usa'er will give you an answer

    Yes they have some day cabs and they're pretty old ones. Most i've seen have been old freightliners.

    Bummer, I've seen some of the Freightshaker daycabs the mechanics are using. Most have been jury-rigged into tow-trucks for the terminals. None look particularly road worthy.

    Looking at the pics, I think it's a 386.

    Prostars are pretty nice, but they've got electrical gremlins.
    (this, suposedly, is not Int's fault, but because USA's mechanics are tampering with the engine software. Setting the governor voids the warranty)

    Setting road speed doesn't Void Warranty

    There's an old FLD freightshaker day cab sitting at West Memphis. I bet they'll give you that one.

    Well whatever the mechanics ARE doing, it's screwing up the trucks. So managment sends the drivers to the dealership for warranty work and International is getting tired of fixing the USA mechanic's screw ups.

    My last truck came out of Memphis too. But it's a pretty long haul back to NYC for a daycab. Rumor I heard is there's some old company equipment in NJ somewhere. I hope it runs.
