    When I left PAM they told me they were adding 50 trucks a month to replace the JUNK but as of yet I have not seen them on the road, PAM has some good runs, you just need to perform to get one. PAM is just as bad as the rest every trucking co. has there problems the trick is finding one you like depending on your personal needs, I happen to like SRT at this time we dont do 34 hour resets, we run on what we have and if need be we repower and keep moving, we dont sit much. PAM has good people Norma works wonders, but the co. motel sucks

    They're on the road now. So far all Prostars with the new logo and 10 speeds. I've heard mixed reviews about them. Biggest issue is they lack a lot of power.

    I'm in a 2010 cascadia of my trainers.

    So far no bad experiences or horror stories. We had a flat tire once. Got it fixed promptly.

    Phil my trainer has told me in his 7 years with PAM he has never had a problem getting a mechanical problem fixed promptly, had never been asked or forced to run illegal, nor even been hinted to that his job would be in jeopardy should he refuse an illegal load assignment. So I don't really know. Is it all propaganda on one side or the other? It's only been 6 days so I guess time will tell. But I am totally enjoying my experience so far. Never expected quite this much paperwork though. Save a tree for gods sake.

    I've not seen a Century with that style. Or perhaps on an O/O truck...
