    That's true too.

    You all remember that day cab glider kit Freightliner sold that they converted washed up old cabovers into conventional day cabs?

    For some reason the Prime lightweight tractors made me think of those.

    I got passed by a Prime truck before....I admit it.

    I was grossing 79K pulling a long 7% grade down in 7th gear and He was empty running full throttle.

    After a mile running side by side he passed me.

    Yup. I remember running Hoboken and east New York and wishing I had a shorter wheel base

    It was a joke. Prime trucks go so slow I have to be stopped for 'em to get by me. ;)

    And when you left 30 minutes later you passed him back a mile down the road.

    Yeah, pretty much. :biggrin_25523:

    Although I start climbing the walls if I'm longer then 5 minutes at a stop, let alone 30. Auto parts stores are easy. :)
     
    TruckDuo Thanks this.
