    So you're saying that if you bring your dog, or plan on having a significant other, they give u a condo vs. lw?

    No. Company drivers will be assigned a lightweight, unless they are actively teaming or training. Having a pet with you will not get you into a condo. BTW, the lightweight tractors we are using now really aren't that much smaller inside than a condo. One of the benefits of driving one is access to a variety of loads that are too heavy to be pulled by a driver in a larger tractor.

    I don't know what all the angst is about this... really any of these trucks aren't exactly a rolling luxury apartment. Your SO's walk-in closet is bigger than a stinking condo tractor!

    Thanks for all the info. Been talking with Prime and was curious about the LW size. I'm 6'4" and was questioning, but now that I see some larger guys having no issue I feel better. Not that this would be a deal breaker in anyway...just one less question floating around in my head.
