    Welcome to US Xpress & welcome back from FMLA !

    The company ordered 100 or so mid roof Pete's. Not sure if any of them are manual.

    I don't think you will regret it! This is where I started 4 years ago. Just remember no company is perfect but there are people on here to help you deal with anything. The problems you may have here if u know what to do are pretty easy to deal with. Even though sometimes frustrating. But I have made plenty of money especially fresh out of school when I teamed :) almost 70k my first year at age 21




    Thanks! I know I hope I get one I heard they are nice. I heard all the new trucks they are ordering currently are auto.Honestly I have been driving stick for 4 years and would like to experience the new autos. If I were new I would only want stick to make sure I knew what I was doing though.

    Thank you! Awesome hopefully there are still some left on Monday. Maybe you can check for me today when you go back. I like the freight liners too just never driven a Pete before and I hear they have 80" bunks which I think would be nice

    The 2015 Pete's I've seen are mid roof trucks. Sleeper is small.

    Have you seen inside? They are like 3/4 it seemed and like I said the bunk was deeper because it was 80" and I am solo so not much need for full roof thinking deeper bunk may have better benefits.

    Ive seen the inside of the double bunk mid roof petes. If they tried to give me one to train in Id just go home til they had something better. Way too little space for 2 people.

    lol what do you think about it as for a solo? I heard it has more amenities then the freightliner and I am thinking should be better built since its not made in such bulk like the cascadia's. Whats your opinion?
