    Check out "JoeOnTheRoad" videos on YouTube. Very informative. He drives for Swift and is started in the Syracuse area.

    Melvin is a #### good wrench and a even better man, I figured he wouldn't last long there...

    When I was leased to Gulf Northern in Savannah, NY many years ago he was working the shop there thats how we first met..

    Been there a few times, small quiet terminal without much else around it. I did have good experience with the shop, only a couple hours to get airbag leveling valve fixed. Easy enough job but at a lot of terminals I'm sure it would be at least a day just to get it in the door.
