We do have west freight but unless you live out there you have to get lucky. Getting to the Laredo terminal is usually your best shot to get a load west. I've been west except haven't been to CA, AZ, or NV.

 

100% flatbed 48 and 53 feet. We have one van trailer that transfers equipment between terminals.

 

I went to Phoenix a while back and through the Rockies more times than I can count. It is a nice ride when not snowing but every time I been through it was a blizzard.

 

I live in extreme southwest Chicagoland. I'd be willing to stay out longer if it meant going west.

 

It's still luck of the draw. 30% of our freight is into and out of Texas and I am rarely there except when I go home. I can't help but see PA and NC if not every week every other week.

 

I'll take the Appalachians if I can get it. Better than just driving around the plains all day long. You live in Illinois all your life, it gets quite boring.

 

Last week saw the Rockies twice and going back this week, pu in Tulsa, OK to Castle Rock, CO...pu in Pueblo CO to Albuquerque, NM..pu in Mancos/Durango, CO to Austin, TX....pr in Houston, TX to Pittsburg, KS...today pu in Springdale AR to Denver, CO. It is beautiful, the peaks are still snow capped, but it's a ##### for rookie driving up and down those hills...

 

Yet another question. I know the trucks don't come with a CB, but do they have antennas already wired?

 

Yes wired, antennas, and speaker.

 

was told Melton use to have step deck but got rid of them and went to just flatbeds, 48'-53', and from what I understand, Melton is slowly doing away with the 48'
