    Maybe the trailers are to haul new lease drivers off to slaughter.

    The truck in that ad is actually from Celadon's livestock fleet. Hyndman Transport (the company in that picture), which is one of the Canadian companies that Celadon bought, hauls cattle as well as dry vans.

    Aerodynamically speaking a livestock trailer will do a lot worse in the wind than a van; so, Prime should cut the speed down from 48MPH (yes I've come-up on them going this slow, radar verified) to 38MPH highway speed to maximize profits. .31 CPM, yeah, what a great deal! Prime = scam...........I find the add a little insulting to be honest.
     
    VaGump and joseph1135 Thank this.

    There was a guy that posted in one of our groups on facebook that he was one of their livestock haulers. He showed his prime jacket and his truck hooked up to a livestock trailer. Took a lot of crap, but was pretty insistent that it was for real
