    The other day I was heading back into Columbus Ohio when I saw a USA Truck heading the opposite direction on I-70. It was a new or newer Kenworth T 660. My question is are those trucks very rare or is USA starting to buy more of them? I would love to get one of those (like I know that will happen) when I'm done with my training. I can't wait none the less. On another note, Does anyone know of any trainers that live in or near Columbus, Ohio? I am just curious since that's where I live and hoping to get a trainer that's close.

    USA has both the T660 and Prostars that are slowly replacing the 9400's.

    Thanks for all the input. All of the trucks are nice. I'm starting to drool now just thinking of getting behind the wheel of one of the new ones eventually. I can't wait to finish up so I can be at USA.

    Being new has nothing to do with you getting a new truck or not, it's all luck of the draw, or lack there of. It's about being in the right place at the right time.

    Do you have a prostar dbltime? Also, I believe the other model is the 389 if its a long nose. If it has the short nose, it is the 388.

    I don't start school until Monday So I still have 4-5 weeks before I hit the road with a USA trainer then another 4-6 weeks before I get my own truck. Sure would be nice to get a newer one but I'm guessing I'll get the one that last had a chain smoking chew spitting oh i drilled a hole in the floorboard so i don't have to use a piss bottle Truck either way is all good as long as I can start make a little bite of money.

    BillyG keep me updated on your trainer's you should be finishing up as i get there.
