    I will for sure. So far the only negative I really have and it’s not really even a negative but their equipment just isn’t as new as you might expect. They have been purchasing new volvos but those are going to drivers who have been there for a while. We’re in a 2016 freightliner and don’t get me wrong It runs really good just not as much space as the cascadias would have.

    The Volvo’s are. The freightliners and internationals they have are 10 speed manuals which is what I preferred to drive

    Man.....age on a truck is just a number if it's well maintained.....2016 isn't terribly old. A truck from that year is just getting broke in
     
    ThomasTrucker21 Thanks this.

    Oh yeah definitely. Like I was saying it’s not even really a big deal to me. They do maintain the trucks pretty well from what I saw when I was at the terminal. They gave my trainers truck an oil change and tune up even though he was just going in to have them check on his clutch brake. They also pull your truck in the shop every time you go on hometime since you have to leave the truck at the yard.

    I like that.....they keep their equipment on point. Are plants the only freight they haul over there?

    So they don't allow you to take the truck home at all?

    Nope. My trainer lives in pompano beach. Has about a four ride every time he was to go home.
