    Curious as to why? Cummins get decent MPG in the 389?

    in all honesty, since I started driving all I have drove is big/long hood trucks, tried looking at a Volvo I liked it but....it's just not me there are rumors that in a few years because of government pressure with fuel mileage they will stop building the 389 pete's and W900 kenworths. as to your question on MPG 5.5 to 6 is all I have personally got driving a 2013 389.
    with quality's you will never pay more than $1.25 a gallon promise I think I will be ok.

    I think that's the best thing I've heard this year.

    I wonder why no glider kits? They must go to California often?

    Those long nose Petes look so good in front of a tanker.

    I haven't talked to anyone officially, there's not any terminals here in Pineville where I live but there is a procter & gamble plant here. QC is hauling something in there and I'm trying to figure out what that lane is and how regular

    Does anyone have any information on the Quality Carrier terminals in Chattanooga or Bessemer as far as which affiliate would be better to work for, if either?
