    Been waiting till I get hooked to a nice trailer to get a signature picture. Here's one of the truck just before I took it down to Charlotte and got all the lettering/numbers put on it.

    That's a sweet looking Classic you've got, I don't see many of them these days and every one I do is all torn up. Super clean truck especially for an '01.

    Wow, yours looks real clean. Nice. Very Nice. I thought SNI had a 10 year tractor age limit? I was thinking about leasing on there until I saw that on there website.

    The classic I found just had low miles. Did a lot of sitting. Used to haul boats to Canada. I need to buff the paint out and paint the frame come spring. I saw it come up on Craigslist in my area for $15k, then it sold before I could look at it. Then it popped back up at a dealer for $21k. Talked them down to $19k. Meh, win some lose some. Just didn't want to let it go over $4k.

    Congrats and good luck. I definitely want to go IC. I'll have to get approval from my dbl, etc though first. Deciding on trucks is the hard part. I'd love to have a cabover. I know I shouldn't but I LOVE the way they look. Looks don't make money though. Someone talk me out of that crazy idea I have in my head.

    Sky, I live in NW Colorado and was told by SNI that I was too far "off route" to run in the IC/Choice program. Still interested in the info you all are putting out, and looking forward to see how you do running out of Colorado. Congrats and good luck!

    ?? Too far off route to run off a load board? Makes no sense.

    Getting loads out of Colorado pays really poorly. But getting back in pays real well and is not that hard at all to find something there. As far as NW CO goes it's a ghost town for freight. You might see loads into/out of SLC and loads out of Rock Springs, WY occasionally. Only way it would work is if you drove your car into Denver and parked at our drop yard in Henderson, CO. Either that or park at the SLC operating center, it wouldn't work out otherwise
