Prime Flatbed Divison Info

They should start getting them in the next couple of weeks from what they said, also the tanker division is getting larger tankers with the same system on the front axle.

 

Here is the link then click on where it says "March 2012 Safety Meeting", that should open up another tab then click on the #2 and you can listen to them talk about it. http://primeinc.com/#

 

Again they said it was to improve fuel mileage and save on the tires, same as the flatbeds.

 

Right, but the guy said that due to the extra capacity that the new tankers will have they will come with spread axles like the flatbeds.

 

They are purchaseing 300 flatbeds/stepdecks, and 100 new tankers with 7250 gallon capacity, this is starting now and will continue through the end of the year. P. Higgins from fleet maintenance is talking about it. They are also lowering the rearend gearing to 3.08 in the tractors too to increase fuel mileage as well.

 

Yeah, he is talking about chugging along in tenth on flat ground and then downshifting to 9 for inclines, never going above 1100 rpm. Also I like the load of coils looks good.
