I'm not positive, haven't actually worked for an LTL despite trying foe a while, but have been an applicant for many of the companies in the southwest and so I paid attention to their equipment on the road.
Estes West in particular was using TLI to run doubles, my guess is they weren't peddling or interlining with those lease/purchase sleeper cabs, guessing on the L/P because they advertised heavily on Craigslist for L/P drivers in AZ during that time. Not seeing those as much since the management changes have happened in PHX, and the ads are gone as well.
Used to see the NPT guys working around Rock Springs, the trucks looked stripped down like the CF cabs used to. Interesting from the outside in a nuts and bolts kinda way, not sure I'd want to work there.
Also, have not seen any Reddaway sets being pulled by contractors, but have seen very few YRC sets behind the wrong cab.
How’s the LTL sector doing where you’re at?

@USMC 3531 man I didnt know anderson and sons serviced all the way to California, unless were talking about different Anderson and sons. Here in texas they were bought out by old dominion when OD first arrived in texas.(1996 or 1997)
The only reason I remeber because we have a driver who worked for Anderson and sons. once odfl bought them out he came to OD as a linehaul driver and hes the number 1 driver as far as seniority. -
speedyk and Texas_hwy_287 Thank this.

I pedal milk and we lost all the schools because of this. Lost a ton of business there. We are dead right now. I'm getting laid off soon. Will see if I get a call back at some point but I will be looking for a different job in the instance that I dont get called back.
Western flyer Thanks this.
