    Yeah, but I bet it still has 2 seats....:biggrin_2559: Prime would have stripped it down to the fiberglass to be able to haul more weight... LOL

    Never seen a Prime truck with one. Trust me I rarely ever grossed more then 78K when I worked with Prime. I think it was 2 times I was over 79 and maybe half a dozen I was in between 78 and 79

    Actually, i have to wonder if that story we hear about those trucks is true.

    Cause like, werner has the same trucks. Freightliner flat tops with a roof fairing, smallest DOT allowed sleeper, single seat. They use them on local beer dedicated accounts such as the one i considered a while back. These guys for the most part go home every night, and werner gave them a little bit of a better truck than a day cab. The whole single seat thing is just to save money im sure, its only what 50 lb?

    Other than the time i had to drive a daycab OTR, i have never had a werner truck with one seat or anything less than the biggest freightliner factory sleepers...

    Kept missing the training classs. Changed my hometime to this week to go home for the safety blitz! Gonna try to catch that class next week.

    Yeah i break down a lot but its not me. Its the way these morons maintain there equipment. Well, i dont know whats up with these clutches, but gosh

    I really wanted to entertain myself with the training thing to be honest.

    I'm trying to save up money to start my own business. I figured id be able to save up if i was training.
