Simple lightweight truck question.

Look this is pretty cut and dry. Prime company drivers have free training if you stay a year and start out at 41 cpm and average 2600+ miles per week. Stevens starts you out at 26 cpm and both roehl and Stevens charge thousands for training.

Prime may be one of the few companies calling it a lightweight fleet, but they're certainly not the only ones running 48" midroofs. USA truck, job hunt, Walmart, just to name a few, are all running them.

I drove a lightweight for a year and they're really not much smaller than a condo. They lack closets but make up for it with storage space above the bunk. You can have the passenger seat removed for more space, I used it for a fridge and some plastic drawers.

Lease drivers, teams, couples, drivers with pets, trainers and the majority of flatbed/tanker drivers can get condos. So if you plan on sticking around a while its not real difficult to get a condo.

 

Like I said before if u go flatbed ur not gonna get a lw.

 

Yes there is hard work involved but ur not gonna be doing a lot of night driving and most of our appointments are 0700-1600 m-f .

 

if you think you would be cramped in a 48 or 36 inch sleeper the a 60 will not feel much bigger. There is not much differance cramped is cramped.

 

They make up for it in additional storage. You will be able to stand up in a Cascadia or ProStar. Go to your local truckstop, and ask one of our company guys if you can see how big the interior of his cab is, before you make a serious career-choice mistake.
