    I had heard that they were re-using truck numbers. But how can you tell that is a new number. When I was there, I knew some guys that had trucks numbered in the 4xx,xxx range, and lower.
    But actually it doesn't matter as I wasn't really calling out LS. Just another example of what trucking has become. Probably should have skipped the picture with the truck number anyway.
    Every company had some "ambassadors" that they could do without.

    Mine are all in order. And the ones I've seen with a number lower than Casper, have been here longer than me. This is my first hand research. That truck in the photo is newer to the fleet, and it's in the Inway division.

    That happened to me, I got up and opened my door to go inside and there was a pile of trash, the driver of the truck parked past the now empty spot looked at me like I killed his best friend. I had to get out my passenger side so I wouldn't step in it. Had pee bottles and food stuff and chicken bones and who knows I didn't do it but I bet a lot of people thought I did. If there is no pictures or videos of the actual "crime" I don't believe it. Those pictures posted don't show what happened, just what is there now. I could take my camera and get pictures that look like that in every truck stop I go to.

    The times I was there in 2005 I was 532xxx and 2007 548xxx. I had heard they were going to have to do something before they got to 6xx,xxx because that's where the trailers started.

    5's are Ranger. 4's are Inway. Inway has lost like 80 dudes in the last two weeks ( I check on our safety rankings ) Truck 4 & driver were actually in Ranger. My fleet is in Inway. Currently ranked 112 out of 242. 9 csa points between the 3 of us.

    "You have four trucks?"

    Yes.

    "And you dispatch them all?"

    Yes.

    "And you drive one yourself???????"

    Yes.

    "How can you possibly do such a thing??????"

    It's not hard.

    would it be possible to provide your own so that people don't think you're from Illinois?

    You can definitely do your own graphics/numbers. I have never had the cheap ones on my truck. Dont like the look of them.
