If it's a 2014, then he probably doesn't have a Columbia or coranado.
I think most of the bigger fleets are phasing out the Columbia and century classes right now. ...I think it's a crying shame. The Columbia I had, it was a gutsy motor.
Who are you pulling for @texasbbqbest ? I can't seem to remember.
Must've left my memory at a shipper...
I stalked your profile. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you've got a freight shaker cascadia. I don't think I've ever seen a prime driver with an older model anything since I've been out.

Prime, Inc. I have the "lightweight" tractors - No space between the drivers seat and the bunk.Vilhiem Thanks this. -
Hop out of the cab and look at the Vin (on the inside of the door, driver's side). Unless it's listed on the door, most freightshakers have their model decal there.

Can't say I've heard them called lightweights... Gliders, sure. (You're fleet, you've got a glider style cab.)texasbbqbest Thanks this. -
Like ya say, different companies/fleets call their stuff different names. Interesting.

The "lightweight" part refers to the smaller sleeper I'm sure. if there's no space between the mattress and the back of your seat that's definitely the small sleeper.
Vilhiem and texasbbqbest Thank this. -
Sleeper lengths are measured in inches. Wheel base is another variable. Then there is a "setback" for the front axle. If you notice some trucks have the fuel tanks right under the door and the batteries under the catwalk. Others have the batteries under the door (and the exaust catalyst on the passenger side) and the fuel tanks pushed back.
You really could lose your mind trying to inventory all the differences in chassis layout.
Most fleets just say, "Yes, we'll take 30!"texasbbqbest and Vilhiem Thank this.
