    yes I remember them very well.
    I had 5 trucks there traded for a new one every 3 years.

    Now for challenger? Ask how many of the long time brokers have left this company the past few years!!!

    I was a broker there for 15 years and at first, yes they were good.
    Well I can tell you that they are NOT a good place to buy a first truck.
    Now before you freak out, I'll say that any other OTR form ontario or Québec is the same these days.

    BUT
    With time, they changed the contract they had with their brokers.

    A lot of broker have left since a few years.

    Old crow, Are you a broker?


    Now back to the thread, if you dont mind.

    I would not recomend anybody to buy a truck these days.
    If you buy and run for a company, you are at their mercy,
    If you run on your own, well you have way much more to worry about.
    Accounts receivable could kill your business.
    fuel costs also.


    Few years back, with the economy running full blast like it did??? Ok no problem I would have said go for it.
    But Today, I wouldnt do it.
