    Well, I don't currently drive for USA. After my year was up I left.

    I graduated from upgrade then the next day I took a 24 hour bus ride to Spartanburg, SC (I believe that terminal is closed now) and the original truck they told me to get was still in the shop and was going to be there for a while. I got a similar truck that just got back from the dealer that day (Friday) but no load. Also, couldn't find an empty trailer on the weekend so wasted half a day on Saturday for that just to bobtail and pickup the load haha...

    But I didn't have to wait very long for truck, and the truck was an old 9400i. It was a decent truck for what it was, until it finally died on my 5-6 months in. After that I couldn't stay out of the shop with the new(er) truck they gave me which was an '10 Prostar.

    9400's are gone for the most part. Mainly like 10,11,12 cascadia'a. 10, 11 KW's, and a few Pete's now. Prostars are mainly used for new drivers(all autoshift)
