Prime's Lightweights: Freightliner vs. International vs. (remaining) Peterbuilt

I hope those other carriers are paying their drivers extra to drive those lighter trucks. Does anyone know if the tanker fleet has those lightweights too?

 

They seem to be acquiring a few at one location... looks like they're pulling heavier loads that require a lighter truck to stay legal.

 

Oh, ok. I guess I got it wrong

 

What is the Speed difference bewteen the two? I no you get .05 more driving lightweight but are you making the same money as a "big" truck or less?

 

All company trucks are set yo the same speeds... there's no difference in that respect.

 

there set to 63 right? Thought thats what the recruiter said could be wrong

 

58 on the pedal, 62 on the cruise.

 

Can someone please explain the logic behind doing this? I can think of several reasons why it's a bad idea, but none why it should be done this way.

 

Don't have the slightest idea, except that the guy who comes up with this stuff must be a serious moron.
