    I understand that, it's just my way of distinguishing a linehaul tractor from a city tractor, yes most but not all LTLs use line power only for line and local, Saia for example is purchasing city tractors again for city use only.
     
    Mike2633 and Bob Dobalina Thank this.

    Yeah I finally saw what you and everyone else is talking about, I am coming into Phoenix using the newly opened 202 to Lower Buckeye Rd now to get to the terminal, there was a three axle day cab taking a long box into the Amazon facility on LB, and when I got over to Mojave street about half the Amazon trucks that were there were gone out doing something, this was at night, also still seeing outside contracted types pulling Amazon trailers on the I 10 going west towards Fontana or east towards El Paso.

    You mean like these dollies that are next to my yard at work? Second photo is zoomed in on the numbers, the AZNG proves they are indeed Amazon dollies.

    Yeah, Bob had posted to me about the AZNG pup trailers, had no idea they had already gone the pup route before.

    I’ve seen many pups in some Dc’s when delivery, I think they are used by USPS and fed ex but they are there nd still being used.

    My first tractor trailering job 20 years ago was for less than what minimum wage is now.

    Yep, $12hr is what I started at for tractor trailer p&d in 1998, I thought I struck gold because my straight truck p&d job before that was $9.25hr.
