    Just curious. I know they drive Mack's, Sterlings, and Internationals.

    I drove Intl's and Macks for them, but they have other equipment depending on your home terminal. The Macks were older tandems and the International's were newer singles. Both had 10 spd's with decent power. They have cruise and air, but no jake and no air dump..strictly spring ride on the tractors. The wagons are in decent condition and their maintenance department is very good. Terminals are very easy to deal with and the drivers are pretty decent for union guys.

    The tractors that we use where I run out of are Internationals with single wheel base, late '90's models. But we always get the hand me downs, all have at least 1,000,000 miles usually 1.5. They are a little doggy, especially in the hills of southern IN (we refer to them as Tonka toys). There's nothing fancy with em, although like fretless said, they do have cruise and A/C. And our mechanic at our center is one of the best around when something breaks down.

    Wow, their tractors don't even have air ride suspension? At least UPS keeps their trucks clean. Unlike most other freight companies.
