    Has anybody ever heard of them? They do FEMA loads all drop and hook.
    I've done searches on here nothing, and googled them and nothing of any use.

    Thank you for any info you can share.

    They may only be busy at times of big storms?

    I doubt it.

    The original Paramount was an outfit that R+L bought out to expand into the northeast. It's later incarnation consisted of O/O's leasing on to pull linehaul loads.

    I haven't seen any of those in a long time though.

    That is the type operation they run, stockpiling FEMA warehouses, they have not been around very long according to their MC#. Thanks for another good try. And yes the are an all O/O operation.
