    The one green "official" Abilene Western Star is a double bunk, though. I got to look inside it a couple weeks back.

    I looked inside one a couple of weeks ago. It was a 760, single bunk, very tiny fridge. I heard they were getting some 880s too. We are content to stay in our 18, it has 243k on it now. Still a very nice truck, somebody will get a clean one when we are done with it.

    The 880s are probably for the lease ops. I wouldnt want to change my truck either despite its problems.

    Let me chime in. Those trucks at the Richmond yard are for solos. I was in one Saturday. They all have double bunks. They will be getting the team trucks in the end of this month. The KW’s will be in during September.

    Should work out better for you. That’s how it works for me when mine is out.
