    I got 5 yrs as a company driver with the large companies driving regular fleet trucks. Looking at a new job with a small 15 truck outfit. They say the truck I'd be going into is a 2009 T660 Glider. Engine is a preemission remanufactured with less than 150k on it. Anything specific equipment wise or maintenance wise that I may need to know that probably wouldn't have been applicable or learned dealing with big company trucks? Thx

    Probably has either a 12.7 Detroit or a 6NZ C15. Like posted above you'll should have a lot less issues with the glider, as long as it was professionally built.
