    I'd run a cabover over one of those things any day.
    Bottom line? More freight moved for less money.

    The pic in my posts or at least my profile shows an international prostar "lightweight" . The prostar is the roomiest and the cascadia lightweights are pretty sparse in way of cabinet space. I'll be back in spring mo on the 11th at millenium if any of you are there you can take a peek. Bear in mins it's gonna be pellmellish because this one I'm in now is going to be decommissioned by prime and sent on its own merry way to another company. Anyhoo I'll be there.

    Those look like a jail cell on wheels...
    sorry, but no way am I rolling in a micro machine.

    That must be why the trailers say "eco 49"
    One can prob haul 49,000 on the wagon when pulling it with a micro machine

    That's an accurate assessment, but not all the LWs suck. The Prostars are pretty roomy.

    .05x2500=an extra 125 a week and without the passenger seat and windshield curtain it's pretty roomy all your missing is cabinets.

    Exactly....... get paid an extra 100 a week to drive a smaller truck, i think its great. Got the passenger seat in mine with a fridge sitting on it also have a microwave and a tv in the truck. Cook my food with the microwave and George foreman grill cooks my steaks. Dont need the bigger truck would rather have an extra $5000 in my pocket after 1yr for drivn the tiny tractor !
