    Check with Success Leasing, they are keeping the list. It took from Friday to Friday before husband got his truck. He had a couple of things to finish doing, the twic card, and passport while he was waiting. He had been 18 on the list when he got on it.

    I hear this truck shortage is still going on... Anyone tried to get one recently? I'll be trying to pick up a midroof next week, hopefully I don't have to get on a waiting list.

    Guess ill just have to wait and see what happens when I get there. Problem with me is Im not upgrading and I already turned in my lightweight and will need a tanker truck. Success leasing has told me there are already a couple tanker guys waiting on trucks. No eta on trucks for them, not sure about reefer/fb.

    Do all drivers in the tanker division get a mid-roof? Also, is the mid-roof a lightweight?

    Prime doesn't order mid roofs, the only way to get one is to order it after you've completed a lease or get one that someone else turned in. The 384 flat tops are bunge dedicated, 389/660's are o/o not purchased through Prime.

    I noted what I have seen , sorry I did not check the ownership papers , although I have seen all the trucks mentioned FOR SALE at Pedigree Truck sales at 1 time or another , so PRIME has owned a few.
