    After TNT training does prime force you into the lightweight trucks? I have seen video's and pictures of them and they are tiny. I would rather give up the extra .05 cpm for a full size sleeper. Tried to call my recruiter today found out his name is Dusty, but wont be back till tues morning. So its gonna be a long weekend lol... Keep the shiny side up guys and gals

    I never drove for prime but im drive a lightweight freight cascadia and they are not as bad as you think. Im 6'1" and can stand straght up in it. The only thing the truck doesnt have is the shelves and bed is twin.

    Or if you lease.

    Oddly enough, if I leased, I'd probably request a lightweight.. \

    Yea you can. My company I work for wont take seat out because they dont have room in shop. But my company gives a plug in cooler for free which helps alot....if you take out the seat youd have so much room you wouldnt know what to do with it
