    They still have the Ferguson account in Fulton, Miss. They aquired it when they bought Overnite. They also have Ferguson accounts in Virginia and California.

    I hauled quite a few loads of wheat out of the elevator next to that yard.

    I have only seen 1 and it was an all-white Volvo with a small sign on the door saying UPS Freight. He was heading north on I-65 south of Birmingham, AL at about 1,000,000 mph.

    I always see new trucks doing it all the time. Must not be too great? Seems like they just pull it a few miles down the road?

    It was awful x 10. We pulled loads down to Savage and there is no good way down there. Felt like my left leg was made of rubber by the end of the day.

    It was through a broker that we got some real good flatbed freight through. They promised us priority on loading, no scaling or probing at the delivery site and longer hours then they were open. As you can imagine none of that happened so we quit after about the third or fourth day if I remember right.

    I watched another one head up I35 north of the twin cities this afternoon. Had a tarped load that was about 20 feet long and 3 feet high.
