    Well, I ran a search, and came up with plenty of info on all of them...lot of 'sifting' through the Smith results...but info is there.
    WEL is getting a lot of bad reviews lately, not much new on Hummer (would be MY choice if I could get them to issue me a truck with standard transmission...been going all auto these days), and Purdy Bros. seems is filled with mixed reviews---couple explaining that they are turning towards 'team operation'.

    I'd eliminate WEL and Purdy...and concentrate on Smith and Hummer based on what I've been reading.
    I'm not sure if Smith is reefer only (if they're the black and white trucks/trailers, I'm pretty sure they are)...so I personally would be leaning towards Hummer for dominantly dry freight (with a few reefers sprinkled in).

    That's just me though. Do what you want.
