    I had to go see family today in Ocala and saw a trucking company I did not recognize. The trucking company I think was Mid America out of St. Louis MO. The tractor was a Volvo VNL64TVN670 ryder leased and a company Wabash Reefer with Side skirts. Any information on this company is much appreciated.

    Also why was a USX trailer being pulled a by a day cab Coke Freightliner??

    That is the one keep it simple. He was keeping up with me while I did 68. Very nice equipment.

    @ Lil May,

    I was busy driving. I was just asking for help as I did not get a chance to get it off the tractor.

    coke and pepsi use alot of drop trailers depending on the plant location in Hollywood the plant for south fl for instance they use buske just like pepsi might use nfi us xpress,western express some plants have dedicated companies bring them bottles and cans from different locations t be filled and that was most likely a transport truck u saw if u were on i 4 or 75 going back ot orlando

    I know USX operates their yard dog in Orlando. I was thinking Coke has an arrangement to use their trailers since they operate their yard dog.

    Edit: MGT thanks for the info. Very reliable in a lot of cases. You ever get to my area, coffee is on me.

    coke unlike pepsi is kinda centralized so u will see that i drive for pepsi and we use herndon, and very seldom use western express for instate deliveries but since the merger of pepsi there has become a major pool of trailers as we try an use our trailers coke has a bunch 2 but they also have alot of third party trailers
