    What a small world lol. In my younger days I used to detail over at the old Shaffer and Strominger dealership. But back to business. Mike told me that it would be mostly loads back around Allentown Pa, maybe Nj or MD. Then grab a backhaul to head back out to the Midwest. Is that the primary lanes? How's the equipment over there? I noticed that most trucks don't have the ez pass. I appreciate the 411.

    Having worked and run with John over at Calex, I can tell you with no uncertainty that he is the real deal and would not steer anyone wrong.

    Yes that is the primary lane. They also go to Texas and Georgia with some California too if you aren't regional. They have 2012 Freightliner Cascadias, 2013 International Pro stars and 2013 Peterbilt 389. The 2016 Cascadias are arriving. So far 80 have come in. We don't have ez pass but you are reimbursed all tolls except I-76 in PA. Unless they tell you to take it. Its because its so expensive.

    Hauling produce for a small outfit in Trappe MD called Paris Foods. We run alot of southeast and Midwest. So far they have exceeded my expectations by a country mile lol. Newer equipment, home on the weekends and we actually get paid by the hour as a otr driver. I've always wondered why they don't have very much turnover here. Great outfit to drive for.

    I am born and raised in Cambridge and still live there. Do you run solo or teams? Do you deliver to stores or warehouses?
