    Ok I searched on here and did not find anything on them. What I do know is they are an O/O only company. They will find drivers for the O/O, which what I am being offered a job to drive for an O/O. I do know they are a flatbed, and some dry van, but mostly flatbed.

    What the Good, Bad and ugly on them?

    I knew an O/O that did very well with them . He had a single axle International setup and hauled A/C units . He had to retire for health reasons .

    Well, can tell you all this Packard has been good to me! the loads are getting better with the economey and its been steady all winter. The company is small, and family oriented, there have been a few times I was down and the big bosses jumped right in and help me out. One example was i was in the terminal in Channahon had a bad slack adjuster and Joe THe VP of the company took me to get parts and helped me fix the trailer. That pretty much solidfied my view of the company.
    I plan on sticking around until the throw me out!
