    I didn't purchase a new truck. It is a 2007 Freightliner. I bought it from QT Sales right across the highway from the Prime terminal in Springfield.

    Would you recommend them ? Have you had a good run with the truck? Did you get a good cash discount?

    theres supposed to be some treatment that keeps them clear.older light buckets you can use rain x on to do the same job. also its the incandescent that are harder to see. there down to 80% light after 160 hrs. all the new cop cars have l.e.d lights. also l.e.d's ( light emitting diode )and h.i.d's high intensity discharge )are different setups. the h.i.d's need alot more voltage ( for igniting the gas thats inside the bulb, like mercury vapor or xenon for example ). l.e.d uses less than a halogen does, but offers more light.

    -Prime will charge you for anything you damage, changing headlights without authorization (which they will not give) will be considered damage.

    Yes I would recommend them. The truck has been great. Talk to Nancy. She was really easy to work with. Their trucks are clean, DOT inspected and ready to roll. Our truck has already paid for itself. We have no regrets going out on our own. But just so you know Prime was great to work for. If I had to go back to a company Prime would be the only place I would go :)

    That is true Success Leasing will charge you for anything you damage. Here is an example of a chargeable modification. Many drivers add graphic designs to their trucks to personalize them. Success Leasing will charge you to remove those graphic designs if you don't remove them yourself. I had some on my truck and I removed them thus there was no charge for having them on the truck.

    There is no comparison...especially when it comes to equipment. Before driving I taught high school. I have a former student that just started with Werner. He is miserable. His truck has broken down three times in one month. No APU. No advanced technology in the truck. My truck at Prime was brand new and loaded. I added a satellite system, fridge, microwave, mifi internet and portable toilet. Almost all the comforts of home.
