What trucks are they running now?

Last I've seen are mostly Pete 386, 587, and t660s

I know that's right. There's a BBQ joint right there by 301. Ain't tried it yet, I live about 5 miles from the 301/20 intersection

newbies get prostars mostly, they're buying volvos now for company drivers. They also have pete 386's, 587's, and cascadias, but those are mostly for l/o's.

 

Are they still leasing kw w900l's? I've seen a few new ones, only knew they were new because of the DEF tanks

not sure about w9's, but you can do a 3rd party lease and bring any truck up to 10 years old into the fleet. I do know they have something like 6 new 389's leased out. Honestly I dont know how you can afford all that fuel if you're leased on to a big carrier.

 

Yeah we got a few w900l trucks leased to roehl in the van division. The two I've seen have the 1 million safe miles sticker, so I know they've been with roehl for at least 9-10 years unless they run like crazy. One of the guys has his paid off and the other is almost done.

naturally its a different story if you had it when fuel was 1.50/gal and rates were better. once it's paid for, theres no reason to get rid of it
