    It all depends on what they have at the time they assign trucks, could be a 2 year old Pete or Freightliner Columbia or a BRAND new Cascadia or Pete 389 or 587 luck of the draw. If you lease about same thing.

    Well had my 1st experience at the Pittston, PA yard yesterday, it is a dust bowl, cannot wait to see it completed will be great lots of work going on there. 1 issue I have I am a non smoker HUGE allergy to cigarette smoke why do you have to walk through the smokers area to get inside oh and the smokers area is also enclosed, I hope they plan on making another entrance to that place for us non smokers. You can envision the future should be a great terminal when it is completed. My boys are still having fun my 11 year old is getting better at navigating and reading the truckstop book, he will see what size they are shower, food and such, my now 7 year old just enjoys waving at the other truckers still, he said he likes to make them smile. I must admit I was bad the other day some jerk cut me off it was REALLY close, when I went around my boys gave the middle finger salute to the driver it was pretty funny then I told them they cannot be doing that in the truck since people can get my truck number and call it in. LOL pretty darn funny though I must admit.

    There is another door you can use to get inside over to the right of the smokers area. It leads directly into the hallway with the showers in it.

    I've subscribed...some great information here and I appreciate your willingness to share your experiences CAGE. I am sure running a business and driving is taxing and mentally exhausting.

    Drive safe and best of luck.
