Hey looky there a question I can help with.
It all depends on what trucks are available. There seen to be a lot of peterbilts then a good mix of freightliners and internationals.
I for instance almost got a 2009 Peterbilt but ended up with a 2011 international prostar. Honestly I didn't care as long as it was safe and ran I would have been happy.
That being said you generally won't have a choice. -
Like Triple said, it all depends on what is available at the time of your solo.
Peterbuilt 387's, Freightliner Cascadia's and International ProStars. If you somehow hit the lottery you may end up with a Peterbuilt 587. Don't scoff at that, I have seen it happen that a brand new solo driver got a ride from a driver in an old 387 to go get his new Peterbuilt. Some people were not very happy about that either. -
Oh I see... so its just a matter of what's available... well I hope if all goes good with me training wise and get to go solo I sure wouldn't mind a pete 587... lol. Thanka guys for the info....

Hubby got a new truck after his solo. He loves his truck!

Wow what ya guys doing to get new trucks? I do not smoke and got a used smoked out truck, still cleaning it out! I am out of P Cola so there are no new trucks they all come from the west coast.
-
I also read on may trucking site that the trucks had satellite radio.... is this true or bs????
-
mine does not have it, it use too before i got the truck but they are not replacing the same radios with it.
cthepete Thanks this. -
All four trucks I have been seated in have had satellite radio. May does not pay for it though. That is up to you.
-
Ohh I c.. thanks for the info.. so how much would it be and is it worth it????
