SWEET!!
-
To each his own. I've driven all three while with USX and personally I'd rather live in a 780!! -
I loved the 780 when I drove for USX. I retired May 2009 from them -
-
I was at the Irving TX terminal yesterday and was drooling over the whole line of brand new 2011 Cascadias w/10 speeds on the back fence.
-
Well things are set and I need to confirm date by the end of week.
Do you guys run loads to Canada?
I was told they have new terminal in shippensburg,PA or if it's considered a terminal. But for hometime , I can fit the power unit in driveway but NOT the trailor, is there secure locations USX has in Philadelphia area?
I guees i'll find out soon enough. I'll keep you updated
miz860 I hope your on road!! -
not required to run to Canada i just ran a load that was going there. there is a drop yard in kenmore ny. I have run a few loads to other drop yards near border as well. Shippensburg is a full service terminal about 130 miles from philly you also have camp hill terminal as well. Not sure were in Philly you live but I have a house in south Jersey i go to alot. I have bobtailed from shippensburg a few times.

I live in Northern Colorado and we do not have a terminal here. There is a drop yard in Denver but I have been told I can drop a trailer at the Budweiser plant or the WalMart Distribution Center near my home.
