    Hi, I'm new to this site. Been off the road for a few months, getting ready to go back out. Going with Kreilkamp. Thought I'd try them out. If anyone has anything to say about them I'd appreciate it. Checked them out some and they had the least amount of bad reports. But we all know You cant keep everyone happy all the time. Theres good and bad everywhere You go.

    Thanks Rambler. I appreciate it. I live in a really tough area as far as jobs go and basically have no choice. I must say though I do miss driving. Things have changed alot since I first started 7 yrs ago. I'll probably feel like a rookie again. You also be safe out there, there's alot of idiots out there.:biggrin_25519:

    Very true that there is good and bad everywhere. Don't know too much about Kreilkamp other than their equipment at least looks like it's in decent shape! See a lot of them on the road here in WI. Keep us posted as to how it goes. It will be nice to have some first hand info on them!

    I'll do that lilbit. I know they do have You go through the whole physical and lifting test (75 lbs 5 times). I'll get through all that. Its a little harder when You've been off the truck for a few months. Some of my trucker friends have told me they have really nice equipment. That was a big factor in who I went with. I'm tired of fighting with crappy, rusty trailers that shouldnt even be on the road. Have a Happy Holiday.
