Boy I haven't heard that one in a while. Then there's the one about the office girl being the mother of John's illegitimate child , so now she has a job there for life. I think she s the one that gives the physicals.

Here we have one of the best run , and most profitable private owned trucking companies around, and he's going to walk out the door

I would say Houston is a good place to be. We've got kroger and heb and someone else that we deliver tyson and produce to. We also del to walmart in new caney. From there u usually deadhead up to center or carthage to load tyson back to either az or cali. Now with chicago, we have loads going in but comeing back out is usually slow. Mainly cuz the planner for that area SUX. Hope I've answered ur question

Lol is that a reliable source you got there? We'll wait and see what happens. Like john said. The trks are his and if his sons sell the company again they are just sellng the name. John made it clear that the building and the trks are his.

I have a 07 t600 with 513000 miles on it and I'm currently getting 7.3 going 62-64mph. As far as ecm you might want to look at pittsburg power. I hear good reviews for them and they claim to increase hp by 1 mpg. Not sure if JCT will approve of it though. Good luck
