    NEW? like less then 300000 miles? No they don't buy NEW they let other companies break them in and get the bugs worked out then buy them ready to run... I heard that my truck was purchased new, it was new to me@ 635K 05 Volvo I was also told it had already been on its side in a ditch and that it didn't like being In that position, I won't be doing any crazy stuff, just running my 2400 to 3200 a week, I wonder how many furniture loads I have to take to get a new used F/L nah I like my automatic i'll keep it. Thanks.

    Yes they have new trucks, the newest ones are Freightliner Cascaidias (sp?) But new drivers only get the Columbias/Century Class and the Volvos. I really like the new FL's.

    Although allot of our trucks are 2005-2007's there usually in good condition, the shop will detail them for you before you get your truck if it came from a terminal with a shop if not bring it to them or do it yourself and they reinburse you for the cleaning supplies. And for anything you find that needs to be fixed they fix it! they don't try to make you run with anything all you have to do is call the shop in MT and they make it happen...

    no theres very few and if you get one and you dont want it just ask for another one when one opens up they'll move you into it.

    No, they were trying them out, i love mine, I got mine because the trainers felt sorry for me and my lack of double clutching skills, I can float up down and sideways just not that great at doubling it, so they sent me to my home terminal Phx. and picked this one up. I'm not sure what I will do when this one is retired? But for now we are making good miles and she runs like a top. TD24

    Note to self, save my change and get AT "Learning to spell with Darnel" and teach him 101 logging, how the hours on the top of the columb(sp just for u AT) roll back over, not once the blanks are filled in the puzzle is finished and you have to take another 34.... AT you know I'm just poking fun at you, when you get old enough to drink I'll buy you a Root Beer... LOL TD24
