    Are ya now? Well, I own my tractor as well, so therefore keep the discourse a bit more civil if you please, or go troll your own threads. I find that when most folks start resorting to four-letter words, then I've hit upon something. You probably are a brand-new leasee.

    Let's get back on track in here, guys. Please report any posts that are an obvious attempt to instigate. Responding to them just makes it harder to clean up. Let's try to get back to Wade's questions now, please.

    Whoa this thread went downhill fast! Thanks for all the feedback about running all 48 states. Very encouraging! #### if you guys didnt run those lightweights I would completely sold on prime. Still might be. I guess every company has downsides.

    They aren't the only tractors we run. You can get into a full sized condo by training, being a flatbedder, tankers do a lot of mid-roof units, or asking your FM to put you in a condo and foregoing the 5-CPM for being in a lightweight. Of course, you can lease a condo too. Don't forget, a lot of carriers are starting to use the smaller tractors now as well. And consider this as well... a condo isn't exactly a rolling palace, the difference is about 18 inches.

    The lightweight wasn't bad I'm 6'3 and was able to stand. Had the passenger seat out and it came with cab curtains. All I was missing was some cabinets, and to be honest when I moved to the condo I was surprised at the amount of things I had fit in there.
