    Omni Specialized of Colona, IL is running an ad that looks very good. A little too good. Can't find anything about tgem. I'm hoping to get some info here preferably from owner operators. Thx in advance.

    I think they used to be Tennant truck lines. I think they merged or bought Henderson truck lines.
    Tennant hauled machinery.
    You might want to do more research, but I think this is correct info.

    Don't see much on Tennant either. Seem to treat drivers pretty good.

    Henderson /Tennant sold the open deck to Omni specialized, but kept the van. Omni and tennant are sharing offices. There is 1 guy that hangs out at colona, Illinois yard the just b****** and complains about not getting any miles. Why the heck com0lain, if all you do is hang out at the yard ?
