    I already did a search and there are only three threads about them, with not much information in them. Does anyone have any knowledge or information on how they are to drive for? Good and/or bad? Are they running e-logs or are they still paper?

    I was going to lease on to them back in 98 but I figured my experience then wouldn't be relevant today so I didn't respond.... My tractor was rather heavy and most of there loads seemed to run in the 44,000 range so I figured why bother fighting axle weights and decided to not stay.... no biggie.

    They did have nice equipment back then for company too, not sure what they run these days since I don't see them in Florida and I don't run the northeast anymore. Good luck if you decide to give them a try though!!!

    Thanks. As far as equipment, I've seen Freightliner Columbias, Coronados, Volvos, and I believe at least a couple of T680's.

    My Father has been with them a long time. If memory serves me right they were Shenandoah Motor Express before. Dad was a owner operator for ever then a few years back he went to a company truck. They do run some nice trucks but may still have a few older ones. I know they Just bought a bunch more Ref Trailers. They are good hard working people there and have always worked with my dad as far as Time off for being sick vacation etc. Hope this helps. If you sign on tell em Jimmy O's son gave them a great review!
