    Shoot it used to be yearly. We would get two extra cents for a perfect year. Any ticket, accident, or incident and we would lose the first penny and the cost of the fines/repair would come out of the second penny.

    Now we get 5 cents per mile on a monthly basis. This will only cost me about $350, assuming they don’t fix it. Then it could be up to $2500 but I highly doubt they fix it.

    We’ve already had the logo for a long time, close to a year. They use it in there emails. Now we have the trucks to match. IMG_8211.jpeg
    I really don’t like condos, and they are missing the suspension over inflate. The fifth wheel slide is basically useless, as per our normal spec. Other then those things they are about business as usual. Went back to cummins motors so that’s a plus.

    I haven't seen them on the road yet...come to think of it, I hardly ever see an SPD truck out here anymore. Guess I am running different lanes than they are.

    I know our condos have no top bunk, just a shelf. Same on the fifth wheel plus they have useless ramps for runs.

    I still haven't seen the white down here or the logo yet, but I've been out of the loop since I've been banned from all social media with a Lonestar in the name.
     
    Walk Among Us and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    The only white lone star trucks I’ve seen are the old Schilly or steelman trucks. I did see a new EW Wylie pulling a three axle rgn the other day. “Ew Why” was my first thought.

    These are all double bunk with a swing out table from what I’ve seen. They are “fine” for the general flatbed freight the vast majority of the company pulls. I have a few more years in my current truck. Who knows what the future holds.

    As for ramps, y’all’s ramps are significantly better then the ones SPD provide. Which is nothing. I built my own for this truck and they work great. Should I have to do that? No, but I’m not going to struggle like the other guys do when I have everything needed to make my own.

    I saw a Wylie pulling a double drop with a jet engine the other day.

    On a side note, I wonder if this is the folks we now work for. If so, they sure have cheap freight rates for oversize specialty freight.

    This was a red Pete...I guess they're picking up some of the aerospace freight SPD decided not to haul.
