Prime Inc. Eco49 (light weight) vs full size. Assigned or choice?

I'm down to two more days until I head out to Missouri. After training is done and I go solo, will I get to choose available trucks or to they assign what's available? OR do they automatically assign me to a lightweight truck? I will be pulling reefer. I know running light weight trucks offers higher pay rate. I rather take the pay cut by running a full size instead. Either way as long as I'm on the road, I'm happy. So anyways, do I have a choice or will I?

US Passports

I would think you'd need to carry your actual passport. The card is for you to have a record of the number in case you lose your passport.

Incorrect.

The card is good for Mexico, Canada and (most) Cruise Ships.

I have both for international travel - but carry the card, as well as my TWIC.

Also - little known fact - TWIC will get you through the priority line at airports.

So all I need is the card for trucking? Btw I am not planning to go overseas anytime soon.

Will a US passport card alone do for trucking into Canada or Mexico? Or do I need a book?

Hours of service

10 hour break taken consecutively resets your 11 hour driving and 14 hour on duty time. Must take at least 30 minute break during 8 hours driving. The 11 and 14 hour clocks are pretty much time limits of driving if both the 11 or 14 run out, you cant drive until you take a 10 hour break in sleeper berth or off duty. Like Anchorman said, check out the High Road CDL training program for alot more details it is extremely helpful and it'll explain everything.
