Prime Trucks

i see...yea cuz my dad drove for prime twice once as a company driver an the other as a L/O that didnt go very well as a lease driver.when my dad joined prime as a lease driver they told all the guys heading to orientation including my dad that they were gonna be able to pick out what truck they wanted like a century or cascadia. well they got there an the lady who was in charge said your all getting 09' Cascadias we have this,this,this,this this and this color to choose from.so he didnt have a choice on what truck he wanted. so he picks his truck color out it was a nice medium blue. so the first three weeks was going good he was making money getting good miles going out west he stayed out for like 3 or 4 weeks. well he wanted to go home for a few days so he did an then when he went back out he was in the negative. long story short he went into the negative once and he just keep digging deeper an deeper till finally he was -8,900$ he stayed out for at least a good 3 1/2 months an he just wasn't making money. so they terminated his truck lease an sent him home..then they had the audacity to tell him that he owed prime inc 10,???$ cause of the damage on his truck.his truck was hit 3 time in less then a week but that's a different story. but yea so they keep telling him that he owes rob low all this money that he is never gonna see.

 

All I care about really is not having a lightweight Pete. I know I won't have a choice per say cause I'll be going company first... however, me being 6'3" tall I want to be able to have a decent nights sleep and be able to stand up and put on my pants in the morning or evening depending on when I need to wake up. I've heard Columbias are better than a Cascadia and the Pete 387's are hard to come by.

 

the Columbia's also have the small sleepers or i call them cracker box sleepers.the century's are nice but i think they are trading them out for the new cascadias. i have also seen another lightweight truck for prime the international 9200i with the 51" sleeper.

 

I see. Well I guess just smaller than your average jail cell.
