    The wheelbase on that custom 53' Pete is rediculous. And check out the "ghost truck" within the flames on the 55' Kenworth picture.

    just curious how many of you that make 3 or 4 cpm more than western and are home everyother day break a 100,000 miles a year? some people like fancy trucks some don't care but if someone is running 20,000 to 40,000 more miles a year need a faster and more powerful truck plus when you in it that much if you care what it looks like is really your personal preferance. fancy truck or cheap truck generates revenue

    I'll take cents over scents if you have sense! :biggrin_2559:

    I'm one a few of the lucky ones that got a new truck at our company. Only because I drove an 05 when I started and was on the list at the right time. All the newer drivers get old Ryder lease trucks now.
    The ones that been there years get special rides. I know one that has a Coronado.

    We almost applied with that outfit but when we saw that the CPM was not much better than what we could have been making had we been company drivers at our last company, we said the hell with them. We were'nt gonna take less money for fuel guzzling, show quality, fancy paint, chrome out the yin yang and covered with chicken lights trucks.

    Having a nice truck is one thing but getting paid with "purdy truck" as part of your income doesn't pay the bills.

    I laugh when I see those fancy Pretty long nose trucks, those guys are crazy, the chrome and fancy lights don't pay the bills at home and mama don't care what make the truck is that I am driving she cares if I am safe and able to send the dough home. Thanks.
