    The lightweights are a slightly cheaper monthly payment if you lease, most l/o go condos though it seems.

    I currently drive a lightweight and cannot imagine staying in it for 2-3 months at a time. I would lease a condo; things get pretty tight when you're in it for a long time, no matter how much space you have.

    Lightweight's were probably my biggest complaint about Prime. They just plain aren't designed for otr lifestyle.

    First off, i want to say thanks to IP, SE and all of the others that have contributed on this thread and others concerning Prime. I have been researching several companies to gain employment with and as of now i can honestly say that Prime is by far my number one choice. The pay during training and after is what made my decision easier.

    As far as the training goes, i do think that it's a little extensive but with that said it can only help make me a better driver and help me succeed in the industry.

    Once again, thanks to everyone that has contributed. Stay safe and keep rollin!

    IP, i think he asked only because I've seen that some companies do charge a fee for riders for insurance purposes.

    That post was 3 years ago! IIRC, company guys don't get charged anything. L/Os get charged a few bucks per settlememt.

    As far as company drivers having a passenger in a lw, hopefully it is a girlfriend or wife and not family members, unless one of them feel comfortable sleeping in the front seat.
