    Well, are you planning on buying the truck.. Or just lease a turn in for another? I would lease in house and in a year or so buy my own.
    If you plan to keep the truck and pay it off, then a new truck through quality maybe better suited. But remember... It's new, but in three years it will need alot of costly maintenance. The payments will be the same.

    Do a search on Quality, if you still want to do business with thieves, then go ahead.

    I don't understand it, tons of threads here on Quality and how they and Celadon steal from O/O....a class action court case even!!!....PUBLICLY REPORTED!!!!!.......yet people keep considering doing business with them.....140 to 150K piece of equipment, will be CRITICAL to your business, yes, let's get it by going into business with thieves......I don't get it!!!...

    This is strange. I just finished orientation with them last week and they know that I want to go in house as far as a lease and have been told nothing except that I am on the list waiting for a in house truck to become available. May I ask who you are talking to there at A&A regarding the Volvo's

    I have been here since Dec 5 and this is the best company I have driven for. I lease directly from A&A and I do well. It isn't perfect but what company is?

    I should've taken some time from my last company before I came over here, as my head wasn't in the right place but once I took some time off everything has been good. I literally drove from my other companies yard to Brandon.

    I haven't seen any 780s here. I have the purple 730. The office here is really good but you have to know what you're doing to make money. Have to be disciplined cause the rates are low but you can make money.

    I have to admit that so far I am not that happy here. On my second load it was to OKC for a 2100 live. When I get there I was told that it is a drop. We always drop there. Something that the DM neglected to tell me so of course my trailer was not ready to drop since not full of fuel, so sit there for a 5 hour unload. Then get my 3rd load and I took it because they changed the apt to 1000 tomorrow and then today another DM changed it back to 2200 tomorrow in SLC and told me deal with it. They tell us to communicate, communicate, but they are not doing this with me. There are some other issues also as far as this truck.
