    That the thing.... If they have them.

    Its like winning the lottery. There isnt a waiting list. Its first come first serve if there is one.

    They only have "used" ones if a truck gets turned in with one on it and the driver didnt take it with him to his new truck... or lug it home if he quit:biggrin_25510:

    yea i felt lucky to get it. got to tell ya i was surrprised by the mattress. The used trucks had new ones. my new truck had the upper bunk one. I heard of a guy use that one until he got a codriver. I asked the lady at detail about a mattress and she was like there included go around back and get one from the guy. I am sure I'll get charged for it at turn in but nice not to have to front it

    The smallest dorm fridges won't fit into a Cascadia slot for ye ol' fridge - I think the Black and Decker is the small one at Walmart or Lowes, etc. I checked out RV outlets when I got my truck... even more expensive than at Prime, and the one Freightliner sells is around $500. GRRR!

    Gator... as long as you get your matresses when you check the truck out, it comes gratis. Once you've accepted that first load, then you have to pay for it - and it will be on the next settlement.

    Might want to consider replacing the stock mattress. That thing is not comfortable at all.

    I'm liking mine. When I get by the house I have a gel/memfoam topper for it that will make it sweet.

    Yesterday got a load of juice. When it first came in I was like Crud welfare juice. But when you pu in jersey and deliver to mass it pays pretty well.

    Just got loaded on a short run of onions. It is also good per mile Delivers early in the am so it makes a good start to the week.
