    There are quite a few L/Os that have been with the company for 15-20 years and more. The lease is a business, as Pony has said on multiple occasions. I am getting ready to go back. Been doing regionals for a while, but moving to Texas, 90 miles west of Ft. Worth - so gotta do a lease since I will be paying for the deadhead fuel. Pony, do I really have to take a mid-roof now with only one bunk and no pax seat? Did I read something wrong? My wife will be riding with me lots of the time (we are now "empty nesters"), just not getting her CDL. It would royally stink if she doesn't have anywhere to sit or sleep! (Both of us have "expanded" to the point now where we can't sleep in the same truck bunk anymore!)

    Pony took the correction on that... and in fact, Prime does NOT own Success Leasing. Robert Lowe owns both of them... there is a difference.

    If you're leasing you have your choice - Pete, Cascadia condos - or a midroof if you like. Sounds like you're getting the top bunk, eh?

    As kingsson said... PRIME doesn't own Success Leasing. So - don't laugh too much monkey man. You're wrong too.

    I was thinking about this while driving today - so here's something for you all to chew on. First, Prime is Robert Low because he owns the company and it is a private not a public corporation. But... unless he is a fool, there is a legal wall between himself and the company just to protect him financially.

    The second thing that occurs to me is that not only is there this same separation between Mr. Low and Success Leasing, but there is also one between Prime and Success. Incorporation as separate entities ensures that there isn't what the IRS calls a "comingling of funds." In other words the revenue generated by Prime must be kept strictly apart from Success. So for all of ya who make the assumption that the lease funds bought the Millenium building - you can forget it. That money can't cross that legal boundary.

    You know it! Probably will get a Cascadia. We are definitely going with a new truck this time... fewer maintenance issues that killed the last one! Lost a day or so every week for something... APU (never another Rigmaster), or EGR, or...
