    Where is your location?
    Do you have endorsements?

    Small family owned company that pays the big bucks? Good luck with that one? Don't listen to those drivers at the truck stop coffee counter.

    Do you know anything about Arctic Express?
    I'd take one of their Volvo trucks in a heartbeat; most comfortable truck on the road.

    Oh yeah, they're up there in Hillard, OH I want to say. They run those 760s like we do. They run the midwest and south I believe. I am a believer in the Volvos myself. If started a company from the ground up, Volvos would be the way to go. I really love the way those new VNLs look.

    not to yank your chain but why do you think family owned carriers are better?

    Almost every company states you're "treated like family".
