I got my truck now.

Are you running Refer division? Thats gonna be some good mileage!

 

Hubby just turned in his baby pete for a Century - he loved his pete and misses it and the mileage. Best of luck out there!! Stay safe!!

 

Cool.... you got the Cummins or the Detroit in that Pete?

 

Wow!!! Congrats man! You must have impressed somebody if you are a newbie and issued a brand new truck! What company are you driving for? That is really excellent man, you got me jealous!

 

He came to the interview with the 2 hotties in his signature,sex sells!

 

The Petes all have Cummins engines in them.

Its not unusual for a new driver to get a new truck at Prime. It all depends on what is available the day you hit the leasing office after orientation - leasing controls all truck assignments whether you are going company or lease.

Quite often the trucks that have been turned in are sought-after by new leasees because of the short lease periods attached to them before the truck is retired - three years (four for tankers and flatbeds) or less depending on the mileage. My first truck was a high-time Century because that was all they had that day. I chose to take it out rather than sitting around Springfield waiting to see what would turn up. Good choice, it ran well - turned it in 60-days later for a very well maintained Century out for 9 months when I got it. The gal who had leased it previously wanted to spend more time with her kids - met her in Houston one afternoon. My current tractor is a brand new '09 Cascadia.

The used trucks are not always beaters... depends on how the previous driver cared for it. They're all detailed and the maintenance guys go over it before it is turned out again - and then you get your chance to inspect it and get everything repaired that you find before you go out.

 

Wow, born and raised in Fair Lawn myself!!! Changed some since then though!
