Now if you decide to run team with a freind how does the whole lease thing work if thats the route your going to take?
I am not TruckerMike but been following these threads for awhile and going to Prime in October. I've heard and know they have Cascadia and Century class Frieghtshakers, and lightweight Pete's. I am sure TruckerMike, U2, IP, or Sazook can tell you more.
Cascadia/DD15's and Pete 387/ISX's are the new full-size machines. We still have some older Century-series Freightliners - mostly with DD60's and at this point they'd all be equiped with DPF equipment. Lightweights are Pete 384s, International 9400s and Columbias - all three have 13-liter engines. All are retired around 500,000 miles or 3-years in-service.
Limited truck selection would be my no. 1 reason. There aren't a whole lot of FMs to choose from either - but you run the same hazards in Denver or Salt Lake as well in that department.
wow im hearing alot of bad news but im still up for the task plus im going company, and besides my last company i was out m-f and didnt run over 1000 miles
