    Central seems to be getting better, at least in my part of the world. Estes on the other hand is slipping.

    From what I’m seeing out here in Idaho central is running new trucks and nice new trailers.

    I'll throw Old Dominion's hat in the ring. All our linehaul trucks are newer than 2023, got a nice mix of FL, KW and now plenty of Internationals, though plenty of guys hate them.

    Our Memphis terminal just got some new 2026 KWs, lucky ducks.

    As much as I detest Saia, at least their trailers always look good.

    But it appears they have the Old Dominion issue of not wanting to allow you to slide trailer axles.

    That would be an extra cost and require someone to maintain.
