    Just goes to show that one terminal is not like all the others. Some are better. I would love the excuse to go to Phoenix as that is where my wife is from, but I'm sure I will be seeing it soon enough.

    Thanks Lugnut. BTW: why 15 trucks?? That seems kind of excssive. Nay, rediculous!

    Your welcome.

    I agree, excessive and rediculous. When I was OTR I went through two trucks. Actually got a good truck the second time out. For the last year and a half I have been on two heavy haul dedicated accounts (Del Monte and Costco currently). They use mainly midroof or occasionally daycabs. Most all trucks have a hard enough life due to the sheer number of "wheel holders" we have at Swift. But the midroofs and day cabs have an even rougher time. Most are nothing more than a piece of ####. Since the CSA 2010 stuff started up I refuse to drive anything down the road that will get me hit on a DOT inspection. Something goes wrong, it goes to the shop.
