    I saw something that made me almost crap myself yesterday morning. An england driver gets in to the yard, gets his door assignment and one shot nailed it..He was even on the throttle too. I thought what a tool for not idling back, but I stood in amazement. I was like wow, never seen that happen ever, even when they have all the room to back.

    according to whom? i have mine on the driver's side because i can watch the limbs and low hanging items better but then i am in a different form of trucking and actually operate in some rather severe conditions compared to most.

    i run a 5.5' francis-

    yep if they can get a lower bid in to haul it.consider werner TAKING the budweiser beer account away from millis. millis built the cartersville,ga. terminal because of the bud account.millis had that account for years & years.werner now runs that extremely low weight truck junk to pull it-

    I believe this is called "BUSINESS." I don't have any use for Werner, but I somehow doubt that they TOOK the business at gunpoint.

    true but you missed the point.mega carriers and low bidders always equate depressed rates for the entire industry.i don't have a use for either werner or millis and both will continue to exist.loyalty initially came to mind but like you said,it's BUSINESS and merely my opinion.you have yours-
