    Talked to Success Leasing this morning and outsmarted myself lol. Offered to take a turn in truck and run out the miles, figuring I might wind up with a full size. Well wound up with a Light wt, Red (of all colors), But APU is installed :>). After inspection went to move it, front Tandem Axle was locked up. Talked to Shop Foreman, he said no biggy, and would also check on the fender mirrors, as there are none installed. He said leasing will pay for one of them, but if I want 2 then I have to pay for the other. No matter, its the blind side I worry the most about, so only one is needed, but would be nice to have the other.

    Also NO vorad system, he said that was a good thing, makes me wonder if it i not nutered truck then, no matter am not going to run that fast anyway.

    Truck only has around 125K left to run out of it. Also already has the chain racks installed :>), new all season tires on the tandems, so am thinking it was running alot out west, which is fine as I will be living in Reno, NV so hopefully will do some running around the west some.

    As a clarification, Success leasing handles ALL of Primes trucks, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LEASE A TRUCK, they also handle the company trucks. Figured I would clarifiy before the haters jump on it and start the "they force you to lease crap".

    Its a 2010. Must have been one of the 1st one they bought LOL

    It does have the Right Weight System, and also a tire monitoring system. Its small but after I rip out the passenger seat I can make it work. It also has cab curtains, rather than a bunk curtain, which the other light wts don't have, cab curtains that is.

    Besides, its just me and my Roty, German Shepard, Pitbull, Yorky dog lol. He's really a Yorky (6 lbs), but thinks he is all the above LOL

    VORAD is a HUGE PITA, and is deciding for no reason at all to slow people down....
