Trucks for New Drivers?

No I don't. I realized after my original post this was in the prime section.

I am from Alberta yes. And no we don't travel that Far East. I work in oilfield transportation, and coil tubing.

 

I have a large bedroom with a king size bed. There is not much room in the den. The kitchen is a eat in kitchen. I would say the the living room average. The game room does not have enough room for a full size pool table. Hope that helps.

 

The bed in both the Lightweight Cascadia, Cascadia condo, and Pete fit twin bed sheets. All three have under the bed storage. The lightweight has less room/storage, but I have seen plenty of them with the passenger seat removed and storage/fridge/microwave installed in it's place. Alot of new drivers like the lightweight because it is much easier to back, almost like driving a yard dog. It has a DD13 in it, but don't know the HP/torque. They all have 10speed eaton/fuller transmissions and locking drives. Some have dump valves for the rear air bags. Company trucks come with deer guards.

 

Just to add to silenteagle, some of the LW's do have the DD15. My source: I drive one. Although almost everything to that motor is a positive...you can forget about keeping your steer axle under 12k on any load over 40,000 lbs.

 

What about the roof top jacuzzi? Is it heated? Is it baffled or does it slosh when you are cornering?

 

I just keep it about half full I haul a lot of heavy loads!

 

Boy you gunna get a sweet truck a peterbilt 379 long nose condo automatic eaton fuller 13 speed tranny they put a microwave and fridge in each truck and put an APU on the truck and don't forget the free wifi they give away.

 

I just don't understand the chips on some of these guys shoulders who feel it is necessary to come in here and immediately jump down the throat of some new guy! Man dude...take a chill pill! Huckstah is asking a legit question and you gave ill advice! As Silent Eagle mentioned, there are differences and from what I've read, new guys are almost 100% ensured they will get a lightweight when they go solo. It makes sense, as you're not pairing up as a team and so they save the Condo's for the team drivers. AND YES, IT IS GOING TO BE MY HOME. It's going to be my home 24/7 for 3-4 weeks at a time, so having an interest as to what kind of home on wheels I'm going to get is a legitimate and sincere question.
As you were Huckstah... )
