Which Fleet to buy a truck from?

Man buy a PRIME inc truck. The trucks have TK APU's, meaning they've hardly ever been ideled. They push the 52-62mph speed for max mpg on ALL the lease operators. Etc etc etc. Rob Lowe, the owner, him n his family OWN peterbilt in springfiel,mo SO they have a super strong relationship with peterbilt and don't get cheated as bad as others might. Most trucks are custom speced etc. When I was there they kept real good care of em. They make all the lease operators pay for all repairs to their truck before they finsh turning in the leased truck. PLUS, they charged the lease OP almost 1k a week for those trucks, so the OPs couldn't AFFORD to dog those trucks out. VERY FEW of those trucks end up getting dogged out while at prime. Because rembed, the big condo trucks were lease trucks 95% of the time, the lightweight trucks belonged to the company drivers.

i ended up buying one from a 3rd party, a blue 2009 387 pete cummins isx cm871. I've had one hell of a time with it but I couldn't imagine having done it with any other of those fleets trucks. 90% of all other trucks in fleets get straight DOGGED out as I call it. Just trashed around by company drivers.


good luck
