    Apparently there are flatbedders in lightweights too. Saw one pass me in Des Moines, IA this morning.

    Now that Im looking, it wont be long before I snap a photo of one.

    I really didn't think I was going to like the smaller truck. But after being in it for awhile I have gotten used to it. I'm not saying that I wouldn't prefer the bigger sleeper but here in the NE it works out just fine.

    Wanna know when your truck gets turned in? (company driver)

    Call Success Leasing. Tell them you are thinking of switching to Lease after you turn in your current truck. Tell them you are looking to narrow down the time frame to prepare and make a decision.

    It's not a exact date but I was notified the week of the date I was given.

    Light wt's are not all that bad. I had the shop pull the passenger seat out of mine. I have plenty of space for storage. Have a space for a TV, but don't need it as I use my computer for movies. A dorm refrigerator and microwave will be going in where the Seat was as well as an additional cabinet for clothes storage. Only issue I have is power, it see's a hill coming and it turns chicken lol. they are underpowered, that said it could be because I have been running heavy loads.

    Ya, but I need storage space for my gear too. No place to put the big box on one of those baby trucks.
