    Yeah real fun teaming in a cabover with CRST going through the Louisiana roads 12 years ago. You would be catching major air. In the bunk trying to sleep and while driving.

    A Light Weight tractor. Prime got together with some of our major shippers three years ago, and found a way to jam another 4000 pounds of cargo into a reefer trailer. They cut quite a bit of weight out of the trailer itself - Utility calls them the ECO49 series. But they also cut quite a bit of weight out of the tractor. It's a little shorter through the cab by removing the 18" cabinets behind the seats, one fuel tank and the upper bunk as well as going to wide single drive tires.
