    i know we talked about this in the felon thread, but i was wondering if i could get an update?

    Specifically concerning weekly mileage; i know dirksen deals with food containers and we know food isn't slowing down (or is it?) during this "supposed" slow economy (i think it's mostly a media thing, but that's for another thread).

    If garderner runs cabovers, then i'm down with them as well.

    :biggrin_25525:Helps if identify the city of the company you're talking about. Is it Gardner out of Chino, Ca? They are not cabovers, do a lot of cardboard, van, flatbed.:biggrin_25525:

    i think garderner is in socal somewhere, and i believe dirksen is in manteca (san jose??).

    i really don't know anything about both companies, although they appear promising.

    They do have a lot of cabovers to pull 57' roller floor vans, and to get into places that have the 65' length limit. But they do many other types of freight as well.
