Buchanan Hauling & Rigging

Does anyone know anything about Buchanan Hauling & Rigging out of Ft. Wayne In.? They haul alot of OD loads and have some dry vans. Is their equipment kept up? Do you see them sitting much? Any info. is appreciated.

 

How did it go, Badcompany? what truck did you get? I am in 2524. Let me know what your thoughts are about orientation and hope you got some good loads.

 

Well, I went , from orientation, to above Waterloo Ia. with a 25000# gearbox. Paid pretty well. Then d/h to Iowa 80 and sat for 3 days as it was Easter weekend. Mon. they sent me mt to Ft.Wayne to p/u a steel beam load for Houston. Paid good. They paid me for the 3 days layover and d/h miles. Will find out how much when I get my check.
U/L in Houston, p/u a alum. sheet load for Tn. and Il. del. mon. and tues. Not happy with it as it's cheap and has to many days under it. BUT, will go over and p/u another steel beam ld. for Houston so I can be at the house next weekend, like I asked for.
So far, the co. seems to be ,basically, a good deal. The dispatch seems to work with you and get you where you need to be on time. Don't comment on the cheap loads, as the lead dispatcher gets a real attitude. Must be the stress,lol...
Will keep you all informed.

 

I'm a co. driver. Headin out to Tn. and Il. today, then will probably d/h to the yard and p/u another beam ld. What kind of a trl. do you have or are you pulling co. trls.?

 

Did I see you in the office Wed.? I came thru with the steel beam load headed for Houston. Hope you got out of there with a decent load. I have ltl going from Houston to Newark De.
