I'm looking into going to Jim Palmer Trucking and was wondering if they let you choose your truck? They offer either Peterbilt 579 or Freightliner Cascadia's. I'd prefer to get a Peterbilt since it built a little larger in the sleeper cabin and has a wider size bed. I'm a large guy so this would be a more comfortable truck for me. Do companies usually let you choose which one you want or is it usually this is what you get?

Ernie, so are you saying in the Peterbilt the mattress is closer to a full size mattress than the twin XL in the Cascadia's?

So if I do my testing for my CDL Class A in Montana and I'm a Washington State resident does that mean I go back to Washington and get my license or do I have to transfer it to Montana? How exactly do they get your license through your own state of residency when you are testing out of your state?

I've been looking into Jim Palmer Trucking which has brand new Peterbilt 579's and Freightliner Cascadia's. Looking at the pictures of the 2 trucks it looks like the mattress and is larger on the Peterbilt 579? Is that right or am I just seeing the picture wrong

Gerard A,
I agree with you that this company does really look like an amazing company and yes I was drooling over the brand new equipment. Personally I'm hoping to get the Peterbilt 579 since from what I can see it looks like the sleeper cabin on it is a bit larger and the mattress looks bigger. Anyone out there that knows if this is true or not please let me know? I'm a big and tall guy at 6'4 so larger sleeper cabin is very important to me, as is also a thicker more sturdy mattress that would better hold mh weight since a good night's sleep makes me a safe driver.

So I'm a big and tall size guy, I'm 6'4. Looking at different trucks and wondering what trucks have more spacious sleepers than others? Obviously I don't need the best thing out there but I want to sleep without having my head or toes touching the sides of wall. I'm looking at different companies and I know companies have different trucks so this would help in my search. Thank you

Jeremy G,
Did you ever get your great dane into a semi truck and if so how did you manage to get the dog up? I've heard about using a ramp, I'm just wondering how to get them over the passenger seat. Anyone know if it's usually ok to remove the passenger seat?

My great dane is nearing the end of her life. She is old, almost 10 years old and I know she would be happier having me there with her than me to just leave her home. She likely won't be here for much more than a year. 1 year of giving up some space is a price I can pay.
