Back to Navajo

Thanks man for that detailed reply. I haven't driven for 2 months (since CDL school) so hoping that won't go against me.

 

Sounds like a good outfit. Thanks for all the detailed information. I am in Denver, so it is good to hear about the local outfits.

Do they take newly minted drivers? Their website says they require 1 year experience, but "phase 1" sounds like they do.

 

Yes, they take new drivers.
And, for the hell of it, a couple photos....one of our Cascadias after I installed a push guard on it (anyone other than LP operators with a 680 with a silver push guard will have it replaced with an orange one, and the silver ones are going on the Freightliners), and one of the new Pete 579s.

 

So do all the trucks have apu's now???

 

Check out Navajo pictures Post # 53

 

Vast majority of the line haul fleet does. The Costco dedicated trucks which pull Rocky Mountain doubles, the T800s which used to be used for regional runs from Tennessee to Chicago do not, and the Volvos which are apparently now being used for that instead of the T800s do not. A handful of T600s without them still remain.. they're on their way out, but the decision to refresh the entire fleet came suddenly and involved a lot of trucks, so trucks being turned in for trade have to be done in phases... keep in mind that the shop has to make trade repairs and turn-in prep on top of keeping that fleet running and on the road.

 

Bump.

 

Didn't understand? Is this a media folder on here or something?

 

No, the mechanic at Navajo took the pictures and posted them here.

 

haha oh the post #. I'm a bit tired, apologies. Yeah they got some nice trucks. I lucked out though Chinatown. That Denver blizzard hit the week I was supposed to go.
