    I might be in couple of months.... those are for the solo drivers. Smaller trucks that can haul more weight. Unfortunately, they also have smaller engines....

    They get better mpg which is good for Prime and they can haul more weight cause they're lighter.

    Down side, they have one seat and are tiny inside.

    The new cascades are a vast improvement over the Peterbilts there replacing. You have twice the fuel capacity and you can stand up in them.

    That passenger seat location is a great place to stash a refrigerator.

    I actually started training just to stay in a "condo." Thought I'd really hate training, but it turned out ok. He's upgrading next week or two and I'll be picking up my 12 year old nephew. That'll be a blast, but after then I'm solo 'til next spring...woo-hoo!

    I will admit though, I do think they're pretty goofy looking. :biggrin_2559:
