    Have you guys ever seen the o/o leased on with you guys that drives a blue midroof volvo with homemade diamond plate fairings? I saw him yesterday on 81 in TN thats an interesting set up he has. He's the only o/o Ive seen besides a tealish 379. Unless the light blue volvo with the big sleeper is an o/o as well.

    Well that's a surprise concerning the Volvos, some of those drivers swear that those are the best trucks? So I guess new KW's all around?:biggrin_2559:

    That's Steve who drives the Volvo with the diamond plate fairing, I guess he gets pretty good MPG with that contraption. That light blue one is the display truck Volvo built for us to check out. Dave & Andy flew down to VA to look at it and went WTF when they saw the color, yup Volvo screwed up on that one. I think the O/O who has it is out of VA.

    Hey Hawk,

    I heard today that the push to trade the Pete's in take first priority, not the Volvo's, unless they're at the the 450000+ mark. So in short all of those Volvo drivers can relax, for now.

    Be safe all of you money makers.

    I searched the thread briefly, but didn't see an answer...

    Is there on-site overnight parking at Food Lion, Disputanta? Their facility looks big enough on the Google Satellite view, but that doesn't ever tell the whole story.

    By the way, don't ever go into the bathrooms at PM Beef in Windom. Wow. They're bad even by trucking standards.

    Saienga,
    no overnite parking on the Food Lion lot, there is a small TS near there on 460. Wouldn't dare use the bathroom at Windom, that place stinks out on the road!LOL

    if you trying to save your hours theres a small truck stop like larry said at the corner of 460 and 156.... lots of space, also theres a wlico at the corner of 295/460 but its about 3 miles from foodlion... both are quiet places except for a train horn every couple of hours...
